    Bardos mate are you the only user ie the administrator? see this windows update error 80070005 < typical of a few Google hits.

    This thread too might have been better in the Updates section too mate as therein lie the members who are most likely to help out.:) But no matter I am sure someone will eventually see it that knows more than I do.

    I know it is a permissions problem, I am the administrator and still I have this problem. I have seen that thread. Googled all over. There is a proposal in the first post that in a later post someone says is a bad thing to do. So I am still lost.

    Ok Bardos and while I am thinking of it have you run either sfc or chkdsk or both - worth a shot

    What are you trying to update; the definition file or MSE itself?

    List the fixes you've already attempted.

    Added: Is this the same problem as your other post? Why are you posting multiple threads?

    That's good but you still need to do the chkdsk.
