I get this error when I try to connect to the update website with my XP
pro, the solution to fix it doesnt seem to apply to me as the services
are running.
Any1 have any ideas as to what the problem is, it seems to be on 2 of my
computers on my network.



[Error number: 0x8DDD0018]
Windows Update cannot continue because a required service application
is disabled. Windows Update requires the following services:
Automatic Updates enables detection, downloading, and installation of
critical updates for your computer.
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) enables faster,
restartable downloading of updates.
Event Log logs Windows Update events for troubleshooting. To ensure that
these services are enabled:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, right-click the service name, and then click
Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic.
5. Verify that the service status is started.

If this does not resolve the problem you may request help from one of the
following resources.
