Hi Hunter1mantis,

In addition to what richc46 has said, check for services if they are set properly. Please follow below mentioned steps:
1. Click on the Start button.
2. in the Search box, type SERVICES.MSC.
3. Press Enter key.
4. Accept any UAC prompt that appears, and in the Services control panel, look for the following
5. Background Intelligent Transfer Service -double-click on it,
6. Check the Startup type - ensure that it is set to 'Automatic (Delayed Start)
7. Windows Update-double-click on it
8. Check the Startup type - ensure that it is set to 'Automatic (Delayed Start),
9. Now try starting the Windows Update service and the BITS - if you get errors, post the EXACT error message.

Please post back with the results.

hi there,,

i work in a repair centre and we have the same error message on 4 different machines this morning.

1 of them has just had a format and re install on a new hard drive
2 others have just been cleaned of infections and were working fine with updates yesterday.
those 3 were on vista...
we have one on windows 7 that also has exactly the same error message.
so its not vista only...

so before trying to fix something that isnt broken i would hang fire.. it might be an issue with microsofts servers.. it is the release day of windows 8..
