0x8DDD0002 Error

I am having problems with Windows Update similar to other users in this forum.

I have read the list of suggestions about this error and have tried them
with no success.

ie. have disabled NAV and firewall
have enabled proper permissions in the registry

Have looked at the WindowsUpdate log and get the following entry coming up
whenever try to access windows update:
2004-10-03 00:08:31+1000 3624 71c CheckIfClientUpdateNeeded failed: error
0x80070005

Anyone else got any suggestions?
Thanks

Did you play with NTFS rights ? Have you tried with a fresh
admin account ? Did you use a proxy or any filtering method
to access the web ? Sometimes, disabling AV (nav) isn't
enough, try to uninstall.

0x80070005 : ACCES DENIED - The authentication method
is not supported. - CoCreateInstance(IBackgroundCopyManager)
fails with E ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) in this condition
(don't know if this apply to web authentication or acces to files/registry)
and
0x8DDD0002 : ErrorNotAdmin

Look if your account is in more than administrators group (perhaps in users group too ?)
in this case, remove your account from all groups, except administrators.

If you got an XP Pro, try this in CMD window (1line) :
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /areas FILESTORE
(you can add REGKEYS and SERVICES at the end too, see :
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313222
take care if you apply others areas : check groups<>users parameters)

Hope this helps

Cheers
