BITS stopped, cannot download updates

A few weeks ago my BITS stopped working and I'm unable to downloa
windows updates. Also, I keep getting a message saying a windows hos
process has stopped working. I've been in contact with microsoft an
nothing they tell me works. They even sent me a new disk to reinstal
windows but that hasn't fixed the problem. Any ideas

Oops. What Am I Saying? This Is For Help With Vista Issues, Not My Mental
Issues. Just FYI.

Did You Know That I Say Just FYI All The Time? Just FYI. This Is Because
Messages Are Just For Your Information And My Poor Mentally Retarted Brain
Doesn't Know That So I Have To Say Just FYI.

Just FYI

Just FYI

Just FYI.

Did I Say Just FYI? IF Not, Just FYI

Hi Daisy,

Run services.msc from the start/search line. Locate the BITS (background
intelligence) service and double click it. Start the service if necessary.
On the general tab, make sure startup type is set to automatic. On the
Recovery tab, set the first failure line to restart the service. Click
apply/ok.
