Did you recently install the update KB842773 (BITS 2.0) as part of the
critical updates from the Windows Update site? And did you have XP SP2 RC1
on your machine before you installed this update? If so then this error is
expected and you can ignore this error. You are seeing this error because
the format of the BITS metadata files has changed from XP SP2 RC1. BITS will
correct the format the next time someone submits a BITS job. In the mean
time if you don't want to see the error entries in the event viewer please
do the following:
1. net stob bits
2. del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*"
3. net start bits
Please note this solution applies to only the BITS problem you mentioned
below.
BITS is used by AutoUpdate, WindowsUpdate (from V5), Microsoft Money, SMS
and MSN among others.
