You receive a "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" error code after you download an
update from
Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or from Windows Server Update
Services

No, I don't start a download, I am just trying to reach the Windows update
page. So no download selection were done yet.
Basically:
1) I try to reach this site:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
2) Which redirects me to:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/wind....aspx?ln=en-us
This page contains this :

"The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are

0x80070002) yourself."
------------------------
On the upper right corner, I have this string present: [Error number:
0x80070002]
When I click on "find solution", I find a solution(similar to the one you
pointed out to me) which seems to be related to my problem and titled: "When
searching for available updates on the Update site, you see the 0x80070002 or
0x80070003 error "
I follow the steps, which asks me to stop the (1)Windows update service,
(2)remove the content of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore and then (3) Restart the Windows
update service.
I even played it safe and retried the steps in that page but with Windows
Explorer 7.0.6000.16609 closed first. (All instances, I browsed the bug fix
page with FF)
These steps has no effect and the problem persists.
Why didn't you post all of that information in your first post?
The steps you took are those listed in the KB article I cited, Paqman! It's
possible that an update you installed earlier may have caused the problem.
<sigh>
In any event, see if downloading/installing this update manually resolves
the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

I usually consider it bad form in a forum structured as this one to add the
previous post since it is strucutre in a tree view format and that it is
quite obvious that I answer the post one level up in the tree. Thus, out of
courtesy, I left the junk out.
I think my original post was clear enough: "When I try to reach windows
update site with Windows Vista I get the error. "Error number: 0x80070002" "
Did I say download, no! just reach the page.
Yes I know and I found out about this after you posted.
Out of courtesy for others, you should leave sarcasm out of support public
forums since it ususally automatically result in sarcasm in return.
In any case, thanks for the feed back, I will use the support link you
pointed out.
Except that this is a newsgroup, not a forum, and not everyone here uses
that clunky web-interface to access these newsgroups and so doesn't have
access to the tree-view format.
I'm having a similar problem but when trying to rename the
SoftwareDistribution directory I'm getting an error that Access is denied.
I'm using Windows Vista and have tried turning off other programs (could
this be a security setting?) - my user setting is as Administrator.

This is a vista support forum, right? Quit acting like a Microsof
