Hi
Installed XP Pro SP2 on a new MB (ACORP 7KM400QP) with 2x512mb DDRs,
SP2, AVG, Spybot SD and others loaded with USB hd before connecting to net.
When going for Windows Update got an error message:
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)
To make sure these services are running:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, double-click on Automatic Updates and then
click Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.
5. Verify that the Service status is started, if the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
6. In the list of services, double-click on Background Intelligent
Transfer Service (BITS) and then click Properties.
7. In the Startup type list, select Manual and click Apply.
8. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
9. In the list of services, double-click on Event Log and then click
Properties.
10. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.
11. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
Automatic Updates is turned on, tried turning it off and got the same
error msg.
Started Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and found that about 70
updates were needed,
using AutoPatcher and the mbsa shortcuts connected to ms and downloaded
most,
but some are only on update. Followed the help directions to these but
am directed to
update which still gives the above error. I seem to be going in
circles, no matter which
help or faq is used leads back to update, after many pages with no help.
Thank You Joe Harrison
