Hi

This one might be relevant:

Updates from the Windows Update Web site are not installed and an
"Error 0x80070005: Access is denied" error message is logged to the
Windows Update.log file
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836926

Note that other registry keys than the one mentioned in the article
above also can have permission issues. More about this under the
"Access denied" section here:
