Checking latest version of the Windows Update software: No respons

I get no response to "Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update
software..." and cannot proceed to check for updates. Update's latest
version installation occurred during initial session, but was interrupted.
Every session since then, it stops at the "checking", and no error message is
observed.

I had to recover Windows XP from manuf. image disks, and installed SP2 from
CD. My 'initial session' after this recovery seemed to proceed normally
before encountering the problem described.

Anyone with same problem or solution?

Thanks,

When searching for available updates on the Windows Update site, you see the
0x8007043B error

or

Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the
success message):

net.exe stop wuauserv
Press Ok

Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
