Are you logged in as an Administrator when attempting to start BITS?

Hi

Error Code 2147942405 is hexadecimal 0x80070005, and means
Access Denied.

Reset the security settings on the BITS service and see
if it helps:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...c?dmode=source

(the 'sc sdset bits "DA;;CC...' part in the link above)

If the link above doesn't work, use this one instead:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...TNGP12.phx.gbl


Then, after the above, do the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following command:

regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
