I can no longer run windows update from my regular user account. It used to run fine, although I cannot remember exactly when it stopped working from my regular user account.  I get the "could not search for new updates - code 80080005" error.  From the

administrator account, windows update runs fine.  I tried the fixit tool and the problem remains.  Could this be some type of permissions error?  I recently had some significant problem with uninstalling Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express (some type of CLR

routine kept trying to run and it took 6 hours to uninstall) and I also had to uninstall the IE 10 beta because of problems it caused in the WinAmp browser window.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
