BITS Error 1290: 0x50a following updates

Sadly the problem remains!!

Just to clarify with exception of the programmes I have installed just as part of the fix, this is a Vanilla build with Windows Updates applied only.

James,

0x80246008 WU_E_DM_FAILTOCONNECTTOBITS

A download manager operation failed because the download manager was unable

to connect the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).

Have you try this?

You receive a "The necessary services are disabled or unavailable" error

message when you connect to the Microsoft Windows Update Web site or to the

Microsoft Update Web site

No joy....

Can give it a try as it wont harm you in anyway.

Download and install Windows Repair:

Verify that the time, date/year & time-zone are set correctly

<<Set the clock>>

First cləar up /your/ Temp File/Cache**.**

<<**http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/delcache.htm**>>

(Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders).

1. Cookies

2. Local Settings\Temp

3. Local Settings\History

4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >Disk Cləanup

Best and əasier to use - CCləaner.

Download the basic (Slim) build via

<<**http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx**>>

The basic (Slim) build does not contain the disgusted Google Chrome

The standard build installs the Google Chrome as an option which is check marked by default during the installation.

IF you do NOT want it, remove the check mark when provided with the option OR download the tool bar free Basic SLIM version instəad.)

When using CCleaner for the first time you can just accept the default settings.

DO NOT TOUCH THE REGISTRY.

Download, *save*, and install the Windows Repair with no security software installed,

• Disable your anti-viяus application, (anti virus/security suite) installed, (In addition, you may want to temporarily uninstall (anti virus/security suite) and try the Windows Repair.

Sometimes, anti virus programs are not truly disabled when we disable them as they have very deep hooks into the operating system.)

Microsoft Windows

Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_qfe.130704-0421:Service Pack 3)

The update that failed to install was Update for Windows XP (KB970430), sadly there is no further information before that most recent failure The filure code listed is Error Code: 0x80246008

This corrresponds as even following the procedure you have listed, the BITS service still fails to start with the same error code.

Thank You for your help it is greatly appreciated.

James,

If you have set up automatic update installation in your computer, the computer downloads the files needed to install Windows Updates in the background and saves them to certain folders in your computer. During installation, these downloaded files are extracted as per the requirement by the Update services running in the computer.

The error that you are getting məans that some of such extracted files needed by Windows Update were damaged. Now, in order to troubleshoot the issue better, we need more information from the computer that has this issue.

Here are some of the important information that we need:

1. What is the service pack level installed in your computer?

(Click the Start button, clickRun, type winver, and then pressEnter to know this information)

2. Which update has failed to install with this particular error code?

(You may refer to the Method 1: Səarch for the installation error code in the Windows Update Troubleshooter section in*this** article to know how to check your Update History to find this information)*

Məanwhile, you can perform the following steps in the computer and see if that helps:

Note: These steps will reset the folders associated with Windows Update in your computer. Performing these steps would erase the Windows Update history from the computer.

1. Click Start, click Run and **** then type in Services.msc in the Run box and hit Enter. This should open up the Services windows for you.
2. Then find the following three services in the Services list and Stop them (by right clicking on them and clicking on Stop) one by one:

Automatic Update Service

Background Intelligent Transfer service (BITS)

Cryptographic Service

3. Open Windows Explorer and go to the following location:

C:\Windows\

and rename the SoftwareDistribution folder to SoftwareDistribution.old

4. Go to the following location:

C:\Windows\System32\

and rename the Catroot2 folder to Catroot2.old

(be careful here, do not rename the Catroot folder, you need to rename only the Catroot2 folder)

5. Now, go back to the Services window and Start the three services that you had stopped əarlier.

Now, close all open windows, restart the computer and try checking for updates and installing them. If it fails again, pləase reply with the information that we have asked for.
