Recently, I came to open my computer to find that Windows Vista had found updates. When I go to install them, it says it cannot download because there was a problem. When I look in the help section, it tells me to make sure that BITS is started. I start BITS and retry to download the updates, but I come back with the same problem and I go and look in the services section, and it says that BITS has stopped itself.
Is there anything I can do to fix this issue, or would a fresh install of Vista (or a system restore) do the trick? Does anyone else have this problem?

The Bits Repair Tool says that no repair is needed currently, and when I go to the support link, it says "An unknown application error occurred. Please try again in a few minutes."

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop. ===================== Start a free Windows Update support incident request: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527
For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with security updates. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/

Recently, I came to open my computer to find that Windows Vista had found updates. When I go to install them, it says it cannot download because there was a problem. When I look in the help section, it tells me to make sure that BITS is started. When I go acording that there was no BITS in administrative tools. So I come back with the same problem.
Is there anything I can do to fix this issue, Does anyone else have this problem?
Click the Start orb In the Start Search field type in services.msc Under Programs, click on services.msc The UAC prompt will appear. Enter the password then click the Continue button Is the Background Intelligent Transfer service listed ? Make sure that it's Startup type is set to Manual and it's not Disabled.
If yes, click the Start the service link. Did it Start ? If it was already running, click the Restart the service link. Did it restart ?
IF BITS is not listed, download the Fixit from here:
Do Step 1: Perform a clean boot When the system has been restarted to a clean boot state, with the system connected to the internet, run MicrosoftFixit50502.msi and choose the Aggressive mode. Once it's finished, restart the system.
UNdo the clean boot steps, restart. See if the system can download and install updates now.
