|I followed the embedded link & tried the various ways to START the Background
| Intelligent Transfer Service, but each time BITS would not START and the same
| error code, 2147024873, appeared when BITS failed to start.
| Is BITS a Microsoft system?
| If NO to the above, how do I find out who it is?
| The pop-up Warning Window does state to contact the "vendor" if BITS is not
| a Microsoft product.
| Would the "vendor" be the company who built & supplied my PC, i.e. DELL?
