cant install updates or any softwear

Whenever I try to install windows updates, i keep getting to errors. they are: Code 80070005 and Code 80070643.

Also, i am unable to install any softwear on my laptop. whenever to download some softwear, such as Skype, it tells me that i need permission to preform the action. I am the administrator on the laptop and the only one who uses it. I have never changed any settings and was able to download AIM when and softwear for my school for a while, but now I cant.

This is a reletivly new laptop, i got it in November from Dell with Vista Home Basic already installed.

Laptop Info:
Dell Inspiron 1501

32-bit operating system

Hello omgxitsxme,
1. Your attachment does not work, repost please.
2. You did not neglect to mention you have SP1, did you ?
3. Error 80070643 . Update name please. Does it have anything to do with Office 2003, or Live One Care ?
4 Error 80070005. Click the link below. An answer from Tim Quan, MSFT, might be for you.
