I discovered I also had this problem within 1/2hr. of your post. I searched
this forum back into April and found no other references to 0x8007043C. Maybe
it is a new trojan just released today? Here is some more background on my
experience, tell me if this sounds familiar: I formatted a new HDD and
installed my old Windows XP disk ("SP0?"). I went to Windows Update to start
the update process. 66 updates had to install (30 min on cable modem) before
I would be able to install SP2. At the end of this first phase there was the
black Windows XP screen and a message, "Please Wait". Keyboard and mouse were
responsive but this remained unchanged for about an hour so I reset. Now when
booting normally I get to the black WinXP screen and then all keyboard lights
come on for 1/2sec. Then they all go black. Then the WinXP image disappears
and the monitor blinks due to loss of signal. HDD light blinks furiously, it
seems busy. I can reboot in safe mode w/networking but at Windows Update I
get 0x8007043C after selecting Express or Custom.

Do you have a file in your root C: directory called "pagefile.sys" that is
several Gb in size? I do and I can't delete it, it's "in use by another
person or program".

Maybe a vulnerability in SP0 or SP1 has been comprimised, preventing us from
updating to SP2? This sucx, like a chicken & egg thing. How do I get an
updated (secure) OS if the only way is to expose myself on the www while
updating with an insecure OS? I was hoping it was just a hardware problem but
I didn't have the problem before connecting to the internet for a Windows
Update.

0x8007043C

Means: ERROR_NOT_SAFEBOOT_SERVICE.
Translation: You need a service which is not available in safe mode.

HOW DID YOU FIX YOUR PROBLEM? I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ONLY AFTER I
INSTALL MY SBC DSL FOR INSTALLATION THE INSTALLATION DISK. PLEASE LET ME KNOW
HOW YOU CORRECTED YOUR PROBLEM.

One way you could solve the problem of how to update an insecure OS version
when one has to connect to the internet is to slipstream SP1 then SP2
updates. Do a search on this group for instructions. You would then end up
with a CD that has an updated OS. I am not certain what to do about the
other dribbling updates - doesn't the SP usually incorporate all updates up
to the SP date (unless documented otherwise)?
