Windows Update Error number: 0x80070078
Hope this is the right board...
Received this error message today while trying to update Windows XP SP2; never had a problem until today. Any suggestions?
Thanks... V

Thanks for the reply, but the error message I get is 0x80070078 - not 0x800a0007.
And besides, I have no idea of what they are talking about!
How did you find that? --V

Thanks...for some reason you got more from Google than I did - wonder why...
None of those sites had the same problem I did - and to top it off, I hardly understood anything they were talking about!
I tried to restore the computer to a different date, but for some reason, it just wouldn't go. I have never had these problems before and I am perplexed. --V

I clean my temp files quite often and another clean just now did not help.
Here's the message I get directly from MS after hitting http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us:
(usually takes a few seconds)..........
The last option does not work either - I sent them an e-mail but have yet to get a response.
I have also sent this message to another forum board, Windows XP. Maybe between the boards, I can get a handle on this problem.
