Windows Update error 80070005
Erik
now suddenly it stopped working. When I try to start it, it says "Error code
80070005". I get the impression that one of the updates caused this ...
Any idea about how to cure it?

Please see if installing the 3.0 client resolves the problem.

Another thing you can try is resetting the security settings back to the
defaults:

I believe I pressed the wrong button when I replied, so here it comes again
...
a) When I try to download and reinstall the Windows Update I get the
following message (translated from Swedish):
"An irreversible error occurred during installation of the Windows Update
agent".
The it stops.
b) I cannot fetch a new version of Windows Update, since that requires
Windows Update.
Is there a way around this?
c) Your third suggestion I hesitate to try - the tone in the article scares
me a bit. I am not aware of any special settings. What consequences can this
have, provided I make everything right?

preventing the Windows Update Agent from installing. Suggest you
download the agent first, disconnect the system from the net/network,
*temporarily and completely DISABLE all security software*, then install
the WUA from an *elevated* command prompt [ for Vista ] after stopping
the Windows Update service:

Reboot, * reenable ALL security software *, then reconnect the system.

Update for hardware?
Get it from those who actually manufacture and support said hardware - in
your case - HP. Microsoft did not make the hardware you are referring to -
do not go to them or accept their offer of support for it. Go to those who
have a vested interest.
