BITS Won't Start

Hi All,

I've just recently done an XP repair and now find that I can't download
windows, office or defender updates.

It appears that this might be due to the BITS not being started. I have
tried to manually start it but get the message:
"Could not start Background Intelligence Transfer Service service on local
computer"
"Error 1083: The executable program that this service is configered to run
in does not implement the service"

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks for any responses.
Cheers
Buster

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910337 should help.
(Start -> Run -> "regsvr32 qmgr.dll" [Enter], "regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll" [Enter])

Hi Freudi,
Thanks for the quick response. I had already sourced that advice and it
didn't work. However, I did it all again after getting your advice and it
didn't work again.
However, the advice doesn't tell you to restart your machine and when you do
it all works fine!
Thanks for the help.
Cheers

Ooops, that should be mentioned indeed. You've started / tried to start
BITS after re-registering the DLLs?

Thanks for posting back! :-)

Yep, everything works fine now after the restart.
Thanks for the help.
