Hope you won't mind me bringing this thread to the top.
I have a similar problem described in previous threads- Windows Update won't work etc. It's been like that for a year. I've scoured the internet and seen /tried all sorts of possible solutions but none of them work. I don't have an installation disc otherwise I'd try a repair.
All of the observations in this thread and Mr Wonderful's thread also apply to my computer - SFC/scannow won't work, etc. Windows update error is 80080005. I've checked permissions for TrustedInstaller etc.
One observer suggested that Avast Antivirus is the culprit - mistakenly moving an operating file to the chest. I looked there and can see several system32 files including three versions of kernel32.dll. One of these was moved to the chest in November 2009 and coincides with when my updates stopped working.
Unlike many people I've enjoyed using Vista and haven't had any problems except this one. I'd really like to get it fixed. Any help would be appreciated.
