I too get error 0x800A0005 when trying to update - here is my log

This is a portion of my log file from the last time Windows Update was run.
Still getting that error and would like to know why?

MissM19,

Please see this -
http://www.updatexp.com/0x80070057.html

Start with " Resolution Suggestion One: "
If after renaming the Software Distribution folder the system can
successfully update, you can delete the SoftwareDistribution.old folder.

If it does not, please see if the other 2 suggested resolutions provide
a fix for the issue.

Finally, the error code *may* be different after renaming Software
Distribution. If that's the case, please copy&paste the last 30 or so
lines of the WindowsUpdate.log into your next post.
