Did not solve my problem, either. I have no NOD32 software installed. The computer, next to mine, updated successfully.

I have XP SP2 fresh clean install. This did not help me at all since I don't have NOD32. What IS NOD32?

I have a W2K system and was frustrated with this problem for months. I looked for NOD32, turned off virus scan, unregister/registered DLLs, etc. all to no avil. Today the following solution worked for me. It may help some of you: 1. Run "services.msc" 2. Find "Automatic updates". It was not running for me and I could not start it (says "internal error, ...") 3. Check "COM+ Event System", "Background Intelligent Transfer Service", and "System Event Notification" are running. If not, start them in that order. You may double click on them, and click "Dependency" tab in the pop up to turn on services that need to be on. For me, "Com+" was somehow disabled (I don't recall turning it off), and it set off a chain reaction that auto-update could not start. 4. Start Auto-update, it should start now!

Yes, indeed very useful. Solved the problem for me as well. (Still at a loss why that service stopped running, but that's an other matter.)

I don't seem to have this COM+ thing in the list. Anyone got any idea why? WTF are microsoft up to? The update thing used to work perfectly.

That was great practical advice even though it didn't solve my problem it felt good to actually try something that might work! Thanks.

The Way solved my Problem, even if it had another cause - i did a repair install after rebuilding my harddisk - that changed the Driveletter in Registry for the services! (See Properties for each service in services list).

you can also use net start|stop BITS|wuauserv to start or stop intelligent background transfer or auto update service from commandline
