[Error number: 0x80070422]
The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is
not running:

Automatic Updates (allows the site to find, download and install
high-priority updates for your computer)
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) (helps updates download more
quickly and without problems if the download process is interrupted)
Event Log (keeps a record of updating activities to help with
troubleshooting, if needed)


this is the message I get when I try to install updates..my control panel
says auto update is on, but I got a popup saying it was off. I followed the
instructions and didn't work.

Hello msHanzon,


See <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958043> for possible help.

Error 0x80070422 (Resolution 1)
<http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?art...>

Error 0x80070422 (Resolution 2)
<http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?art...>

When was the last time you did a full scan with your antivirus and any other
tool. (Preferably the facts scan in Safe Mode)


The Vundo to be associated with the 1058 error 0x80070422
ERROR_SERVICE_DISABLED


Perhaps there is your problem.


Scan your computer now online and clean it for free!

Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827315>


First - ensure you do not have "Vundo". Clean it up if you do.
It seems possible that your Windows installation has been deliberately
damaged by a trojan (Vundo, along any uninvited guests. (SDBot and ZLOB, all
protected by a rootkit.)) so as to prevent you updating your system or
removing the trojan.

A very good antimalware app is SUPERAntiSpyware.


There is a free version (on demand scanning only), the paid for version
includes active monitoring, similar to Windows defender:

Good luck
