Have you checked the system for malware? Missing BITS and WUAUSERV services is often a sign of infection by a rootkit - so I would first recommend downloading Windows Defender Offline on a known-clean machine, and running a full system scan. Only once the system is clean is it worth attempting to fix the services. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline/ run the scan, and post back with the results. Also, run full CHKDSK and SFC scans - Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories Right-click on the Command Prompt entry Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up. At the Command prompt, type CHKDSK C: /R and hit the Enter key. You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot. The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient! After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC. SFC -System File Checker - Instructions Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories Right-click on the Command Prompt entry Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up. At the Command prompt, type SFC /SCANNOW and hit the Enter key Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot. Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

Noel is correct about the possibility of malware. I would also recommend running Malwarebytes. (www.malwarebytes.org ) Then you can try running the following Microsoft Windows Update fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/ Jerry
