| in attempting to download XP updates, I receive a 0x80246008 error. In
| following resolution 1 to this error, my attempts to set the BITS service
| status fails. After switching the BITS mode from manual to automatic, the
| status of the service remained "stopped" even after clicking "apply". I
| also attempted use of the "start" button in the BITS service properties
| window, but it noted an 'error 1083. the executable program that this service
| is configured to run in does not implement the service'.

| So if possible please someone:: HELP PLEASE!
