COM+ Event System received on restart from auto-update

[Guest]

I had my pc set to recieve auto-updates, but when the system restarted after
the install, it got hung up on the "Microsoft Windows" screen. I can only
reboot it in safe mode, including safe mode with networking. But I have no
idea what to do to fix it. I tried going to the Microsoft Update site to see
what updates I had gotten, but it will not allow me to connect to the server
in the safe mode. I get an error code of 8007043C. I also found a system
event message on my computer that says, "The COM+ Event System detected a bad
return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 8007043C from line 44
of d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\event s\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact
Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error." I have an Academic
version of Windows XP and don't qualify for free support. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.

Can happen because the COM+ Event System service is disabled.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click COM+ Event System |
Set Startup type to Manual | Click Apply | Click the
Start button | When started, click OK | Close Services

If that doesn't fix it, see this...
