Thread: RE: Can't fix BITS - Windows Update

Code: WindowsUpdate_80246008 WindowsUpdate_dt000


Recently, I came to open my computer to find that Windows Vista had found
updates. When I go to install them, it says it cannot download because there
was a problem. When I look in the help section, it tells me to make sure that
BITS is started. When I go acording that there was no BITS in administrative
tools. So I come
back with the same problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue,
Does anyone else have this problem?

Click the Start orb
In the Start Search field type in
services.msc
Under Programs, click on services.msc
The UAC prompt will appear. Enter the password then click the Continue
button
Is the Background Intelligent Transfer service listed ?
Make sure that it's Startup type is set to Manual and it's not Disabled.

If yes, click the Start the service link.
Did it Start ?
If it was already running, click the Restart the service link.
Did it restart ?

IF BITS is not listed, download the Fixit from here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

Save MicrosoftFixit50502.msi
When the download completes configure Vista to clean boot:

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows
Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Do Step 1: Perform a clean boot
When the system has been restarted to a clean boot state, with the
system connected to the internet, run MicrosoftFixit50502.msi and
choose the Aggressive mode.
Once it's finished, restart the system.

UNdo the clean boot steps, restart.
See if the system can download and install updates now.
