Error Code: 0x05

When I try to install the security update (KB835732) for windows XP it just
simply says "update failed". I get this error code in my update history:
Error Code: 0x05.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I've also tried to install this manually and it downloads fully but during
the install it stops and a window pops open that says "Access is
denied".....it then directs me through an uninstall of the partially
installed files to reset my previous settings.

So basically I'm out of options and I need help. (Also, this would be the
100th problem I've had since downloading SP2 and I'm almost ready to throw in
the towel.

I've stayed away from SP2 for over a year now because of all of the reported
problems but my new antivirus requires SP2 in order to fully funtion
properly. I'm considering uninstalling this piece of crap and getting a
different Antivirus.
