1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del)
2. Click Services Tab and then Services Button (Bottom Right)
3. Under Name find "Background Intelligent Transfer Service"
4. Right click "Stop" and select Stop. Do not close.
5. Open Window Explorer and browse to C:\Windows
6. Delete the Folder "SoftwareDistribution"
7. Go back to Services, Right click "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" and select Star
Can't select it, can't highlight it.
What other approach is there to accomplish this?
See pic
While you are on the Services Tab in Task Manager, scroll until you find the listing for BITS.
Right click on it; is the option to "Stop Service" clickable or grayed out?
If it is grayed out from there you have a corrupted registry key.
Is yours like Kaktussoft's?go through the list of services and make sure all of the following are set to Automatic or Manual:
Remote Procedure Call (RPC), System Event Notification, Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions, COM+ Event System, DCOM Server Process Launcher
Try to start these services (of not started yet). All start fine?
Start REGEDIT and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters
What do you see on the right side of screen?
See Post #3: BITS Error 2: The System cannot find the file specified
It may work to merge his reg file of that key found as an attachment at the bottom of Post #5.
This file is x64, do you have the windows 7 x64 OS version? You have your motherboard listed where your OS should be in your system specs.
If you do go ahead and merge, please make a restore point, and a backup of your registry before you do.

My BITS got mangled last week on WinXP machine, took me a couple days to figure out why MSE wouldn't auto or manual update.
Am using ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT)to backup registry every day.

Other thread asked:
Have you had malware problems recently?
I check for malware frequently, using both Malwarebytes and superantispyware.. I haven't specifically noticed any problem until now.
Same answer for me.
