Hi,

Windows Update isn't working on my computer because BITS isn't. When I try
to start BITS manually in services.msc I get error code 2147024891.

What can I do to fix it?

JD

Hi JD,

Try the following, provided by Narayana Mahankali [MSFT] in an October 2004
thread regarding the same error codes:

Open a command prompt window, and key in (or copy/paste):
rd /q /s "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloa*der"
hit ENTER

Now key in:
net start BITS
and hit ENTER



Regards,

Try a search? <eg>

First recognize that the error code is decimal and signed
and more commonly expressed in hex.

http://groups-beta.google.com/groups...t=0&scoring=d&

(Google web search for
80070005 OR 0x80070005 BITS MSFT OR MVP group:microsoft.*
- sorted by date to capture current thinking
)


Good luck
