Juan,

Who's Eddie and what is his problem ? We have no idea whom and what you
are referring to.

0x80070005 is an ACCESS DENIED error, usually related to a Permissions
issue in the registry.

When you inform us of just what your's and Eddie's problem is, then
perhaps someone can assist you.

Permissions registry. I have a store-bought copy of MS Office Premium. The

Vaio).

[MowGreen [MVP]]

Get the update from HP's web site. SAVE it, close the browser and any
other open programs.
*RIGHT* click the downloaded driver and choose 'Run as administrator'
Enter the password or click Continue.
Did that get it installed ?

THanks a ton. I didn't do all of above steps but with your inputs I found
out that my software distribution folder was marked as hidden and readonly.
when I removed both of above attributes It worked like charm.
THanks much

[cafcaf]

Could you please explain it more open? I'd tried the steps that "stossmann"
suggested but nothing improved so far.

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your specific problems.
State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP2)
in your first post.

Selina, don't hijack old threads,

One of the most common causes of this error code is the Anti Virus and Anti
Spyware software programs running on the computer.

You can try turning them off and then try the updates again. Keep the
firewall on though.


Also see:

Error message when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web sites to
install updates: 0x80070005
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968003/

0x80070005 - Permissions issue. You can reset registry and file ACLs to
their Default state by following the directions here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx


If that doesn't assist, please start a new thread stating what update you're
trying to install, details about your computer for example, what operating
system etc.
