Error 0x80070005 when accessing Windows Update

When trying to access Windows Update I get the error 0x80070005. "The
website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying
to view."

I searched all through the Update Newsgroup discussion postings and google,
and tried all the fixes I could find.

I then contacted Microsoft Online Assisted Support, after three weeks and
being switched to another tech halfway through nothing has worked. The last
email the tech said to use the XP disc and do the recovery feature, and still
no change. I emailed him back that the repair did not change anything and he
has not responded back, that was about a week ago.

Between the techs suggestions and the newsgroups suggestions it seems the
Techs know less? The Newsgroup seems more knowledgable.

If anyone can think of something I might try I would appreciate it.
Some things I have tried ( I can't remeber them all)
I searched for hidden firewalls, looked for the NOD file, tried the regsvr
updates, edited user permissions, deleted suggested keys from the HKey
registry, downloaded the Windows Update file and reinstalled it, theres some
others I can't remember now.

One last thing the error shows up after registering the Update software.
When I go to the update page, it says "Get the latest Windows Update
software" After clicking install, it shows copying files then registering
and when it gets to 100% it will display the error.

I assume it is a permission error on my desktop, but I am at a loss as to
where to go next? Any suggestions?

STurbo,

See if anything in this MSKB helps to resolve the issue :

Mow,

I tried the fixes, but it did not help.
I viewed the Update Log and the it showed Fatal error:

2006-07-13 22:35:45 3136 8a4 Setup FATAL: InstallUpdatedBinaries failed with
error 0x80070005
2006-07-13 22:35:45 3136 8a4 WUWeb FATAL: InstallUpdatedBinaries failed with
error:0x80070005
2006-07-13 22:35:45 3136 8a4 WUWeb FATAL: UpdateClientWorker failed: error
0x80070005


Any suggestions? Thanks.
