Please Help!! Can't download due to BITS error!!

I have read the faq on my error message:

"Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Disabled"

and I have set the BITS service to Manual - (it already was) and the only dependency it has is RPC and that is set to 'automatic' (it is disabled so I can't change it to 'Manual'). I tried to "start" BITS and I ran the BITS admin repair tool but still get the same error when I begin to download.

Please help friends - I can't even get the download to start.

And this is odd - I have never ever had a problem downloading anything before.

Thank you but this link you just sent is the same one I've been getting for the last 2 days. I've tried all of remedies for the error message I'm getting but the download still fails.

Thanks.

I am unable to download VB Express due to this BITS error. I assume this is the proper forum. I looked at the link above and it provides the same advice as the Microsoft support page. I've tried everything they've suggested several times.

I found a solution to the problem if you cannot get BITS started. Here is the link that I used. I have now successfully downloaded Express - thanks to this link:

And this relates to VB Express how

These forums are for VB.NET questions.

This looks like a machine configuration issue, and I would suggest a simple web search would reveal a number of potential suggestions.
