HELP Windows Update error 0x80070005 Handler FATAL

[CRJ]

Add me to the list of those with the 0x80070005 error. I've been through every fix I can find, tried them all, and still no results. Checked admin permissions, RESET permissions, ran filemon, procmon, subinacl, and MGADiag which gave me no resolutions. Tried running Update with admin options, some error on catalog website.

Checked update log and found the following:

DnldMgr *********** DnldMgr: New download job [UpdateId = {5704DA6F-5F83-47C1-BBFD-4ADF11E539F8}.101] ***********

2008-12-29 01:29:17:343 1640 324 DnldMgr Error 0x80070005 occurred while downloading update; notifying dependent calls.

No real clue what any of this means, pretty much have been navigating blindly through it all. Only these two updates are having problems right now: Security Update for Windows XP (KB956802) and Update for Windows XP (KB955839).

Last successful updates were 12/18, Definitions for Windows Defender. On 12/21 these two updates were first up and failed, while other 6 updates ran fine: Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB960714), Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - December 2008 (KB890830), Windows XP Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP (KB958215), Windows XP Security Update for Windows XP (KB954600), Windows XP Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB952069), Windows XP Root Certificates Update. Since then, it's only been these two failing.

ANY assistance greatly appreciated! Thank you!
