Home Premium, with Service Pack 1. The error code is 80070005, which it says
is an unknown error. I've looked through some of the previous discussions on
that error however I couldn't find any that helped me since I haven't added
any new hardware or programs for about a month.

I have McAfee as my antivirus, if that sheds any light at all.

Windows Vista what? (Home Premium? Business? Ultimate? etc)
What service pack level?

What is the exact error you are getting?
