hello

I have a problem trying to download new updates for windows xp sp2. I got an
error code 80246008. Then I checked my BITS and found out that I couldn't
turn it on (error code 2147024894). Can anyone help me with this problem
please?


Thank you

Hi,

Reset the security settings on the BITS service and see if it helps:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/msg/1398b5a7bcb8f37c?dmode=source

(the "sc sdset bits ..." part in the link above)


Then, after the above, do the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following command:

regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll

I tried it already, but bits still not working. I also tried to download
bits update, but it said that I already have the newest version. Anymore
suggestion?

Hi

Please try this:

Paste the following line into the Start/Run dialog box:

"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader"

and click OK.

The folder Downloader should now be opened in Explorer.

Delete all the files in the folder.

Now try to start the BITS service again.

Try a search? Let's use that second error code.
It looks like a decimal number but I suspect it is also signed.
E.g. was there a minus sign (hyphen) in front of it where you found it?

Somebody else today actually had the unsigned version of the same code
somehow. Here is how I replied to them:

Try a search? First it helps to convert that code which is obviously
decimal but apparently not signed decimal (as they usually are) to hex.
E.g. Run... calc.exe set it to operate in Scientific mode (Alt-V,S)
paste (or type) your code into its input box and press F5.
Also since the resulting hex string might be misinterpreted as decimal
itself and since we want all instances of it interpreted as a hex string
anyway search also for that computed hex value prefixed by 0x.

Good luck
