Re: Error 0x8007000B

What is the installed antivirus/security suite ?
Which firewall is being used ?

There is no need to run an Elevated Command Prompt with XP SP1 because that is only required if your User Account does not have true Admin privileges, as User Accounts do *not* have true Admin privileges in Vista.

So, please show hidden files, folders, and system files:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html#winxp

Using Windows Explorer [Start > (All) Programs > Accessories]
navigate to WINDOWS\system32
Locate cdm.dll. Right click it and choose Properties.
Click the Version tab. It should now be at Version
7.2.6001.784
Do the same for the following to confirm that they are all at the same Vesion level -

wuapi.dll
wuauclt.exe
wuaueng.dll
wuauserv.dll
wucltui.dll
wups2.dll
wups.dll
wusetup.exe
wuweb.dll

If *any* of the files listed above are at a different Version level than
7.2.6001.784, then please tell us which one.
Next, open the WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files subfolder.
Locate WUWebClass, right click it, and choose Update.
Now right click WUWebClass once more, choose Properties.
Click the Version tab. It show show as Version 7.2.6001.784.

Now go to Start > Run > type in cmd
Click OK or press Enter
At the Command Prompt, type in the following commands pressing Enter after *each one*

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits

*** Leave the Command window open for now ***

Open Windows Explorer once more and navigate to
WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
*Delete* DataStore.edb

Now open WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download
*Delete all contents* of Download

Back in the Command window, enter these commands, pressing Enter after
*each one*

net start wuauserv
net start bits
exit

Reboot the system and see if it can update now. If not then the installed antivirus\security suite and/or 3rd party software is preventing the system from communicating with the update servers.

If the above KB article doesn't resolve the issue, suggest you attempt a manual installation of the latest Version of the Windows Update Agent:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/blogs/mowgreen/index.php?showentry=1172

Download the appropriate WUA and *save* it.
Move it to the root drive, usually C:\
Install it from an Elevated Command Prompt after stopping the Windows Update and BITS services.
Start Search > enter command > click Search
Right click command and choose 'Run as administrator'. Follow the prompts.
At the Command Prompt, type in the below *exactly* as written, pressing Enter afer each command

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
c:\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /wuforce
net start bits
net start wuauserv
exit

Reboot the system and see if it can update now.
