What will not update?
Jul 28, 2010 5:13AM PDT

What is that error 80070002 you quote? When and where does it appear, and what else does it say, ie the exact message?

What options does this error give, eg OK, Ignore, Cancel? What happens if you choose any other option?

Any details available on this machine? We're guessing in the dark here.
