Window Genuine Advantage Update fails.

It always fails with this error code : Error Code: 0x80070005. Windows Live
Onecare is always saying I need updates. When I try to install it always
fails. Any suggestions?

Might apply:

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
