Solve : Windows Update will not run due to services.msc?

Answer»

I ran into a new problem: Microsoft Windows Update can no longer scan for updates because it claims that a vital service has been disabeled.

Quote

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)


I would START the service, however, I see no such service and I donot RECALL disabeling any services, except for WIRELESS Zero Configuration, since I last updated Windows.

I will reset and see if that solves the problem..check that the  cryptographic service  box is ticked...info>http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htmI did locate the option (They translated it..) however, it was set to Manual and now Automatic. Didn't MAKE a difference.

Cryptographic Services is set to automatic.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q316524&There is no administrator error. I did not loose any priviliges.

Is there ANOTHER reason for posting the article that I may have overlooked?

Apparently, enabling Windows Automatic Update caused another service to be re-enabled and it is now working properly. Thank you for your time, Merlin.BITS is part of XP-SP2.

Go to:
Computer Management-->Services and Applications-->Services

BITS should be listed as "manual" or "automatic", not disabled.
It was. Enabling and disabling Automatic Updates by right clicking on My Computer - Automatic Updates tab somehow solved it.
