I am running XP SP3, and when I go to the Windows update site and check for express updates, the green progress bard starts and just keeps going with no end result. I downloaded the Fixit Tool and it quoted the error code as above. How can I rectify this please?

    I downloaedd the BITS update as you said, but got a message saying that i didn't need it as the version I had was newer. I still couldn't get it to work as when I entered the Reg add command, it came up with a black DOS box saying "ValueService DLL exists, overwrite y/n and what ever I enter, nothing happens.

    So what do I do now?

    Hi edsal,

    Can you reboot please and then go into the Services menu and see if BITS is visible.

    According to the messages you're seeing, the file appears to be on your system already. Similarly, it's also registered.

    Here's a pix of what it looks like.

    Hi edzal..,

    Do the following please.

    Go to Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Restore

    Click Create Restore Point

    Type: Before editing registry and click OK. Close System Restore after it creates the Restore Point.

    Next:

    Go to Start, Run, copy/paste regedit and click OK.

    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS

    In the right hand pane, can you see these: SIDVersionType and DelayedAutoStart ?

    If either or both of those is present in the right hand pane, right click each of them in turn and choose Delete from the menu.

    Close the registry editor and Reboot.

    When the system boots to the desktop, try and start BITS again.

    I have done that.  Only DelayedAutoStart was showing and has been deleted. On re-boot, BITS no longer appears in the Services! What next!
