I tried deleting the data on Play Store Services and Play Store. The app opens but then automatically closes.

Please assist, thank you.

Two things to try:

From home. Settings->apps. Slide to all. Look for "Download Manager". Disable the app. Go back to the list of all apps, scroll down to the bottom (where disabled apps are) and then enable it again. Restart the phone.

If that doesn't help, settings->apps. Slide to All. Look for "Google Play Store". Tap the button "Uninstall updates". See if you can restart the Play Store app.
