When trying to access Eindows Updates in IE7, WinXP Pro x64 i get the below
error. I have verified that all of the services mentioned are running
correctly, however I still get the same error.


[Error number: 0x8DDD0018]
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)

Thanks for any help

Some experimenting solved the problem for me. the following is what I did to
fix the problem. Hopefully it will help someone else.

Set the services in the following configuration:

Automatic Updates Service - Automatic
Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Manual
Event Log Service - Automatic

Then restart the computer and try again.
