I ran into a new problem: Microsoft Windows Update can no longer scan for updates because it claims that a vital service has been disabeled.
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
I would start the service, however, I see no such service and I donot recall disabeling any services, except for Wireless Zero Configuration, since I last updated Windows.
I will reset and see if that solves the problem..

check that the cryptographic service box is ticked...info>http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

I did locate the option (They translated it..) however, it was set to Manual and now Automatic. Didn't make a difference.
Cryptographic Services is set to automatic.

There is no administrator error. I did not loose any priviliges.
Is there another reason for posting the article that I may have overlooked?
Apparently, enabling Windows Automatic Update caused another service to be re-enabled and it is now working properly. Thank you for your time, Merlin.

BITS is part of XP-SP2.
Go to:
Computer Management-->Services and Applications-->Services
BITS should be listed as "manual" or "automatic", not disabled.

It was. Enabling and disabling Automatic Updates by right clicking on My Computer - Automatic Updates tab somehow solved it.
