Review the System Event log? Hint: use the Event Viewer.
E.g. Run... eventvwr, pick System and see if there are any
error records about the time of the problem.
BTW if you followed the directions of that error message you showed us
the service vendor could interpret that the problem was code 80070005
( -2147024891 == FFFFFFFF80070005)
In that case you could try a search on Google Groups such as
80070005 OR 0x80070005 MSFT OR MVP group:microsoft.*.windowsupdate
Use Sort by date to get the current thinking (but perhaps have to wade
through some repetition to see a variety of suggestions)
