Re: Help with Code 80070005 on Vista Machine

Suggestion from MS -

Install/reinstall Windows Update Client

x86-based versions of Windows - download the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
package now.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

Please see if installing the 3.0 client resolves the problem.

If you require more information:

Another thing you can try is resetting the security settings back to the
defaults:

Cannot update my 32 bit vista machine. Haven't been able to update since
10/16/2008. My computer can't even search for updates. I get the error
code
80070005. I have tried updating manually and still get the error. I have
looked at other posts, and most linked articles are no longer valid.
Please
help. Haven't had a problem before this. My computer is relatively new.
Just purchased in August 2008.

Thank you for any help you can provide.
