Windows automatic update disabled

Question

I removed a Lenovo program thinking it was extraneous and now my automatic update for windows no longer functions. I can't remember the name of the program I discarded but it's absence is sorely felt, any ideas?

Answer 1

I am using Windows xp. I get a message telling me that Window Automatic update is disabled. When I go to System, Automatic updates the setting is checked for automatic but it is "greyed over". If I go to the Windows Update site I get the following messsage
Automatic Updates (allows the site to find, download and install high-priority updates for your computer)
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) (helps updates download more quickly and without problems if the download process is interrupted)
Event Log (keeps a record of updating activities to help with troubleshooting, if needed)
To make sure these services are running:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, double-click on Automatic Updates and then click Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.
5. Verify that the Service status is started, if the Service Status is Stopped click on the Start Button.
6. In the list of services, double-click on Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) and then click Properties.
7. In the Startup type list, select Manual and click Apply.
8. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is Stopped click on the Start Button.
9. In the list of services, double-click on Event Log and then click Properties.
10. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply.
11. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is Stopped click on the Start Button.
When I try to enable the Automatic Backup I get "Error #1058"
