I had to do a re-install of Windows XP Home as part of a
system recovery. Now, Windows Update won't work at all.
On the screen "Checking for the latest version of the
Windows Update Software", nothing happens. No list comes
up, no error messages, nothing.
 
This may be caused by a third-party firewall product called Zone Alarm. Try disabling
this program and opening the Windows Update site again. Be sure to enable your
firewall again when you are done.

Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll


Press enter after each one and wait for the success message

When searching for available updates on the Windows Update site, you see the
0x8007043B error
This error may occur if the WUAUSERV and BITS services are not configured properly in
the registry.
