Microsoft Update Error Code 800706BA

I reinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium, a genuine copy which came bundled
with my new Toshiba a few months ago. Before I reinstalled, I was able to
update the old installation as easy as the next person, but now, after the
fact, I see an error message coded "800706BA" whenever I try to start the
update service. It appears that something is preventing the Background
Intelligent Transfer Service from starting properly.

I'm more than a little bit worried about this, as I can't even install
updates manually fro the Download Center. The same error occurs when I try.
Please, I hope someone will answer this post with a solution. I appreciate
any attempts to help. Thank you!

I just bought a new Toshiba laptop and am setting it up right now. I get the
same error. How am I supposed to update the OS? I also get the error "Host
Process for Windows Services stopped". I am running Windows Vista Home
Premium. Any help appreciated.

I have had my Dell Inspiron 1501 for a few months now and haven't had any
problems with vista home premium and downloading updates. But i am all of a
sudden having the same error Code 800706BA and Background Intelligent
Transfer Service keeps popping up saying it has stopped working, then the
theme of Vista becomes like basic xp style and the updates won't download,
this is a big problem Microsoft, fix it.

I uninstalled the entire McAfee security suite. After rebooting the
computer, windows update started working. Hope this helps others!

This didn't help me. Microsoft, we need a solution! Help!

I uninstalled McAfee also, but it didn't change anything. When I hit the try
again button it tells me I need administrator permissions, but I am the
administrator. That is the one and only active type of account on this
computer. I tried to go in and manually start some of the Windows services
that seemed relevant, but that didn't do any good at all. If anything, I'm
getting that 'Host Process for Windows Service stopped working and was
closed' etc. message even more often.

I can't get updates, I can't change my security settings, and since I
uninstalled McAfee, I have little or no protection.

Any help anybody can give would be great. Thanks!

Hi Barb, this isn't a solution, but if you can't get McAfee back, try
downloading AVG Free from grisoft.com. That's what I did, and it's great so
far. But still no clue how to get MS Update to work.

(AVG Free is a 30-day trial, but it'll give us both time to find a totally
free antivirus program that is compatible with Vista)

Thanks, Rebecca. I'll do that. It isn't always easy to find Vista friendly
programs. What a stupid mess.

Did you try to run the program by right klicking it and choosing run as
administrator?

Yes, I tried that. It didn't work, either.
