I copied that directory from another XP computer that had SP3 installed. As some have noted in the comments they had to use their XP SP3 http://www.blizzardcomputers.com/bits-windows-xp-error-1290-0x50a/ CD. Step 3: Manually start BITS.

Service will not start Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is a service built into Windows that transfers files in the background using idle network bandwidth. It basically acts as a download manager for Windows Update and other http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/background-intelligent-transfer-service-will-not-start/ services by being able to resume from broken or partial downloads. If you are http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/no-bits-cant-update.197574/ having problems with downloading Windows updates because BITS will not start or is giving errors, there are a couple of ways you can try to fix the issue. If you are getting any of these errors, read on: Background intelligent transfer service did not start properly Background intelligent transfer service will not start Background intelligent transfer service error 1290 has stopped working If BITS can’t be started for some reason, first make sure it is enabled in the Services control panel applet. Go to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and click on Services. Make sure that Background Intelligent Transfer Service is set to Automatic or Manual as the startup type. If it’s not set to Manual or Automatic, then double-click on it and change the startup type access is denied to either one of these. If the service is configured correctly, but BITS will still not start up properly, check to make sure none of the dependent services are disabled. Again, go through the list of services and make sure all of the following are set to Automatic or Manual: Terminal Services, Remote Procedure Call (RPC), System Event Notification, Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions, COM+ Event System, DCOM Server Process Launcher If all of the services are correctly configured, you can try to delete and reset the download queue by deleting the following two files: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr0.dat %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr1.dat Now try to start the BITS service by going to the command prompt and typing in net start bits. This will reset the BITS transfer queue and hopefully allow the service to start properly. If not, then continue reading!

I was working on a computer.. had to format and re-install Windows XP. I got most Windows Updates installed, but there are still a handful that won't install. I found out that it was probably because the BITS service wasn't running. I went to turn it on, and it wasn't even there. I tried to run sfc /scannow. It ran, but when it was finished, it just disappeared and didn't produce a log. Is there another way to install BITS? Nov 2, 2013 #1 LookinAround Ex Tech Spotter Posts: 6,491 +183 Clarify... So when you click CtlPnl->Admin Tools, then click Services and scroll down. Do you not see the name Background Intelligent Transfer Service?

Also check this file C:\WINDOWS\system32\qmgr.dll (I'll correct my earlier post) Nov 2, 2013 #6 jephph TS Rookie Topic Starter Posts: 61 That one exists too. Nov 2, 2013 #7 LookinAround Ex Tech Spotter Posts: 6,491 +183 Open a command prompt window. In the command prompt window type the following. If BITS still doesn't appear and start, you'll need a registry patch. Will have to find it and post back tomorrow Code: sc create
