Failed to spawn COM server

Automatic updates that are failing, with a 0x80070005 error, but Windows Update doesn't say more? Or the solution doesn't realy solve the problem?

Here was I did.

First I openned WindowsUpdate.log from Start > Run. I saw that lines reported was pretty old, so I deleted the file and retry again to see if the guess saw on the net was really up-to-date... But the file currently openned was not the latest one! The file changed place, so when I reopen the file the Path found another one, that was updated with the lastest entry!

Second, I search for an error and now I found a good error line that was saying "Failed to spawn COM Server". I searched and search when I finally found that:

This was saying, simply, "if you found the reg key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole\DefaultAccessPermission, delete it, it should work"

... after trying 50 times something that was in a forum, I tried this, and I Worked!!
