Fixed Windows Update from hanging on downloading updates

Problem was that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) would
not start. The problem occured after using the Norton Anti Virus Removal Tool
to remove the factory installed version of Norton Anti Virus on my IBM Laptop.

To fix the problem (and likely other similar problems where windows update
hangs at the downloading updates screen) simply reinstall or install SP 2.

SP 2 includes all of the updates for the BITS service.
