BITS will not start on my computer. I get an error code 1083: "Could not
start the Background Intelligent Transfer Service on Local Computer. Error
1083: The executable program that this sevice is configured to run in does
not implement the service."

I tried to do the following fix and it did not work:

"Verify that BITS is correctly configured
Verify that BITS is correctly configured. Then, try to start BITS. When you
try to start BITS, you may receive one of several error messages. These error
messages are listed in the "Troubleshooting steps" section. If you receive an
error message when you try to start BITS, follow the steps in the section
that corresponds to the error message that you receive.

To verify that BITS is correctly configured and then start BITS, follow
these steps:1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
2. Double-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
3. In the Startup type box, click Manual, and then click Apply.
4. Click the Log On tab, and then verify that the service is enabled in
every hardware profile that is listed. If the service is disabled in one or
more hardware profiles, click the hardware profile, click Enable, and then
click Apply.
5. Click the General tab, and then click Start.
If BITS starts successfully, visit the Windows Update Web site or the
Microsoft Update Web site to obtain updates. If you successfully obtain
updates, follow steps 1 to 3 again. However, in step 3, click Automatic
instead of Manual.
Troubleshooting steps
Error 1083: The executable program that this service is configured to run in

If you receive this error message, follow these steps:1. Click Start, click

2. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 %windir%\system32\qmgrprxy.dll, and
then click OK.
3. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
4. Double-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
5. In the General tab, click Start. "

I am running Novel and I saw something this,

"In Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and in Microsoft Windows 2000
Service Pack 3 (SP3) and SP4, the BITS service lists the LanmanWorkstation
service as one of its dependent services. In some network environments (for
example, in a Novell only network), if you remove the Client for Microsoft
Networks networking component, the LanmanWorkstation service is removed from
the computer. In such cases, the BITS service does not start because the
dependent service cannot start, and the service controller creates an event
log entry that states that the BITS service did not start because the
dependent service LanmanWorkstation cannot be started."

This seems to suggest that I need to reinstall myself as a client; however I
am running XP SP2 with tablet edition and I have no idea what
"LanmanWorkstation" is and under the dependences tab for BITS there is
nothing listed. Is this LanmanWorkstaion supose to be there?

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

Was Norton Anti-Virus ever installed on the machine?
