Ok, thanks again for helping so far.  I tried your first set
of instructions again (to reinstall BITS), and this time, the
computer asked me for the service pack 2 cd with the file
"qmgr.dll".  Does this mean I must reinstall service pack 2
or order SP2 CD?
Hi,

No, this means you need to have a WinXP OS CD where SP2 is integrated
(slipstreamed) into it. The SP2 CD you can order from Microsoft does
not contain the OS, so you cannot use that one.


If you have an WinXP OS CD with no service pack, or SP1, you can slipstream SP2 into it yourself.

Follow e.g the directions in the following article to
create a slipstreamed XP CD:
