BITS Service won't start...?

Howdy,

When I try to use Windows 2000 Update, it fails with the
error 0x80246008.

That tells me that the BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer
Service) was not started.

It is set to Automatic.

When I attempt to start it manually, I get the error
2147024894.

I have looked for that one in the MSKB, but none of the hits
seem relevant to my situation.

Might you assist?

Thanks for any help on this,

Hello again,

My problem is resolved... (and, I will add, I have worked on
this one for about a month.)

The solution was to create a new reg key:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

With sincere regret, I cannot point to the source, but it
certainly might help others.

All the best,
