I have tried all of these and I still get error code 80070422. Come on
Microsoft Vista is getting worse not better. How can I fix this??????????????


cmd_output OS="XPsp2"
E:\set /a c = 0x422
1058
E:\net helpmsg %c%

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
/cmd_output


Look for some context in your logs to figure out *which* service cannot be started? ; }

In case Gistcheckin's guess for the OP was correct. You could also try using bitsadmin
(in a cmd window) to both check the status of your BITS service and optionally repair it.

Note that another service being disabled was identified as the problem cause
by another poster to this ancient thread.


Good luck

updates and still get the above error message.

Why not just open a free support incident? =
