Service not running?

Error: 0x8DDD0018

I was told that either 'Automatic Update', BITS, or the Event Viewer
services are not running. All these services seem to be running, and
functioning normaly, and yet IE will not allow me to do automatic updates.

Windows Genuine Advantage is running. Everything should be fine.

What is the next set to figure out whats preventing me from updating?
