Hei Eirik,
You receive an "Error 0x80072EE2" or "Initialization Error 0x80072F76"
error message when you try to use Windows Update
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836941
If you have Sygate firewall or something similar, this thread
may be relevant:

If nothing of the above works:
Rename (or just delete) the SoftwareDistribution folder and
see if it helps.
You can use the procedure described here:
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=21&ln=en
Note that a side effect of renaming or deleting the SoftwareDistribution
folder is that you lose your WU v5 History listing (not critical).
(later on, you can just delete the renamed SoftwareDistribution
folder)
