Download the bitsadmin.exe tool from the following website 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&familyid=49AE8576-9BB9-4126-9761-BA8011FABF38&displaylang=en

Run the tool as follows to fix the issue:

bitsadmin /util /repairservice /force

Let me know if this doesn't solve the problem.
