Got a WindowsUpdate_80070005 error a year ago and have been slack in getting it sorted so hopefully someone can help. So, this code is given when I attampt to get the security centre to update from the net, and Help is no help as the code doesn't appear on their list.

Any advice would be great, cheers

Here is another problem with that error code

It seems the full error message is

0x80070005

If you search on that you get more hits.
So are we sorry to see Mr. Gates leave then?
