Need help from techies

Hash

For once in my life I am trying to download music legitimately as opposed to using frostwire. According to HMV's website, I need to enable the background intelligent transfer service in the control panel. I think I have, it's on automatic, but still no joy. Any ideas?

I asked one of the highly paid techies at work.

He said, "have you tried switching it off and switching it back on again?"

Hope that helps.

That's the techies answer to everything DB. Quite often it works as well.

works even better if you

switch off
smack with a hammer
switch on

nothing happening?? buy a Mac and use iTunes.........


anyway

to turn on BITS (as it's known)

go

Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Services

scroll down to Background Intelligent Transfer Service

right click and select Properties

go to drop down box on Startup - select Automatic - and click Apply.

click Service Status Start

that should do it - BITS will now start up every time you boot the PC


make mine a Draught Bass please

Thanks FB I'll give it a go when I get home.

I know what you mean FB, Frostwire's fab and it's what I normally use, but new stuff it takes a while for new stuff to get uploaded there for me to nick!

I mean H4MT re the file sharing sites. Sorry, head not on straight as I've just got back to work after a very soggy run, sitting here with wet hair dutifully waiting for a meeting to start at 7.30. It's only once a year that I have to do this, but still I'd better be home in time for Desperate Housewives all they'll have to put up with some serious sulking from me tomorrow!

Was not home in time.

Sulking......
