Errors 1058 and 0x80070422

I just updated SP2 from a CD and wanted to check automatic update for
further updates and I got:
__________________________________________________ _______________________________________


[Error number: 0x80070422]
Windows Update cannot continue because a required service
application is disabled. Windows Update requires the following services:
Automatic Updates enables detection, downloading, and installation of
critical updates for your computer.
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) enables faster,
restartable downloading of updates.
Event Log logs Windows Update events for troubleshooting. To ensure
that these services are enabled:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, right-click the service name, and then
click Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic.
5. Verify that the service status is started.


__________________________________________________ _______________________________________
The following is set:
Under Control Panel, Windows update is set to Automatic.
Under services, BITS is set to automatic start and is started.
Under services, Automatic updates is set to Automatic but is not started.
Whe I try to start it I get
Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or
because it has no enabled devices
associated with it.

I had previously downloaded XPSP2BlockerTools.EXE and had executed
C:\XPSP2Blocker.exe /B to stop SP2 automatic update.
After installing SP2 from CD I executed C:\XPSP2Blocker.exe /U to reverse
the block.

I have restarted Windows several times and retried with no positive result.
Please Help

Hi Gerald,

Give this a try and see if it resolves the problem:

Go to Start>Run key in services.msc and click on OK or hit ENTER.
Right-click on Automatic Updates then select Properties. Click on the Log On
tab. In the Hardware Profile field (at the bottom), if the Service status is
Disabled for your Hardware Profile (probably is Original Configuration),
click to highlight the Hardware Profile in this field, then click on the
Enable button and then click on Apply. Now, click on the General tab and
click on Start under Service Status.
