I can't get my windows updates to download. everything I've checked seems to point to a BITS error but I can't find anything that will repair it. When I try and manually start BITS it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

How to capture an event log and upload it to the forum:
  • First, open Event Viewer by clicking Start -> Run -> type eventvwr.msc and press ENTER.
  • In the Event Viewer please right click the requested event log (i.e. Application, system, etc...) and click Save Log File As.
  • Please save the logfile to your desktop and give it a recognizable name.
  • Do this for each log that has been requested.
  • When you are finished saving the necessary logs, close Event Viewer.
  • On your desktop find the saved log files. Hold the CTRL key and click to select each event log.
  • When all event logs are selected, right-click one of them, click Send to -> Compressed Zip Folder.
  • A new .ZIP file will have been created on your desktop. Please attach that file to this forum in your next reply.

An error 8007007a is an insufficient buffer error
Some results equate it with difficulties with SQL Server
Other results for the Event ID show issues with the TPM for onboard login/security devices.

What's the exact make and model of your system?
Have you added any extra security type devices to it?

I'm at a loss here. I'd suggest (if there are no further replies) that you open a support incident with Microsoft. This KB article will detail the steps that are necessary: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193385 (From what I understand, assistance w/Windows Update issues is free).
