Unable to update XP Pro

[brookhartc]

I have Windows XP Professional installed on my laptop computer. Every
single time I start my computer I am reminded about the fact that the
automatic updates are disabled. This alert is coming from Norton
Anti-Virus 2006 security center. I am unable to update windows from the
windows update option on the start menu and by going to windows update
website. I receive an error message about one or more services not
running. I have gone through the troubleshooting process which
indicated that I should run the services.msc file and check the status
of Backgroud Intelligent Transfer Service. I have followed the step by
step instructions listed for turning this service on and enabling it.
Even after it is turned on and running, I still cannot get updates. How
do I fix this problem?
