800800005 Error in Vista Updates

I noticed that I stopped receiving Vista updates around 3/27/08. I searched
all threads and forums for a fix. No luck.

I stopped UAC, tried to install the windows update again, got the same error
when I tried to re install the windows update .exe.

I tried to reregisterd the .dll's as in another thread and it tells me that
initpki.dll could not be found. I stopped the auto update service and delete
the windowsupdate log file and the software distribution folder.

Hence, I tried everything direction I could find by live search or thread
search and nothing works. I not sure what else to do other than reload the
system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

AJ

Same problem I am facing and tried almost all what you mentioned but no
success. I wonder what is going on or how to fix it. However, my MAC is doing
fine and I rely on it in my critical business. This Vista is for fun only.

I was having issues with WU failing and was told to rename the "Backup"
directory under "winsxs" in the Windows directory. My PC crashed before I
had time to rename it.

Okay, thank you. Would this help with my Windows Vista Automatic Updates
problem? I have not even tried to load or install Vista SP 1 as of yet.
