BITS will not start in Windows 2000 Pro SP4

Tried everything that has been posted about getting BITS to start such as
running multiple regsvr32 dll's etc. etc. Nothing works. I get the error
-2147024894 or 80070002 whenever I try to start up the service. With that
down, nothing will run automatically for WU. I was able to download and
install all patches manually and it does run the verifyer, again manually.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. Narayana at Microsoft helped me. I had tried
everything also. Check your registry and see if the following key is there:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

If its not, add it and then try and start BITS. It worked for me.

I do not have asee \BackupRestore folder after
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\
any ideas what I should do I am having the same problem getting BITS to
start. I have tried the Fixes for XP but they didn't help I guess because I
am running Windows 2000

First, you have to find out what OS you are running. Right click on My
Computer and click properties. That will tell you what system you are
running. If its XP, I don't know if you are supposed to have those key or
not. If its Windows 2000, then create the BackUpRestore key and then the
FilesNotToBackup key and it should work.
