Haven't been able to install updates since 9/10, everytime I try to download
the progress bar stays at zero percent gives me error 80246008. Even with
Windows Defender updates I get this error. BITS is working fine, I tried
downloading the repair tool for it. I am running SP1. I've tried every
method I've found online to no avail. |

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP1; Vista SP1).
Did you read and work your way through
LINK ??
If you're running Vista SP1:
Did you install it manually or via Windows Update?
What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you
installed Vista SP1?

According to your .jpg, BITS started and then stopped.
BITS is required for WU.
You say BITS is not a problem on your computer, so start BITS and then try
WU again.

I would not have installed Vista SP1 manually unless and until it was
offered by Windows Update.
In any event, I would have disabled Trend Micro anti-virus (and
anti-spyware) prior to installing Vista SP1.
Despite the Trend Micro application's protections, the problem may be caused
by a hijackware infection. But I'd recommend taking this up with free Vista
SP1 support first:
Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through 18 Mar-09

The problem was not caused by installing SP1. I ran into the problem prior
to SP1 and found on another forum somewhere that installing SP1 manually had
fixed the problem for someone else, before that I had no idea I could install
updates manually. The problem has to be with something else. Is it normal to
get the response I posted earlier when starting BITS? It always gives me the
same message, but I haven't come across anything in the support pages that
mention that message.

Have you looked in the Event log to see if there are any clues about
that failure in there?
bitsadmin (in a cmd window) could give you some more clues.
E.g. open or switch to a Command Prompt window and enter there:
bitsadmin /util /version /verbose
The same command also provides the option to repair BITS.

Nevertheless, my previous comment still stands:
| Quote: | I would not have installed Vista SP1 manually unless and until it was

Installing Vista SP1 manually when the machine's already having problems
(e.g., inability to use or install Windows Updates) only complicates
matters. (And uninstalling Vista SP1 now may only make things worse!)
Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
