Download XP SP2 from here and save it to your Hard Drive :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

OR, order the CD ( it's free as is the shipping ):
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...s/default.mspx

I'm actually having the same problem. Problem is it's a corperate
environment and SP2 has not been approved etc..so I can't just go
around update otherwise I would. There's no info on this error
anywhere...a little help from MS please?

How about looking for some context in the logs?

Since I can't figure out what diagnostic is used where
I'd just search my whole drive for that string 8007043B
or at least search files which had changed that day which
contained it.

BTW once you get some context you may find other codes
and names to do similar searches with. Eventually you can
infer a meaning to it all even if there is no documentation available.


Good luck
