yo all... I had the same problem and after searching I end up in my
firewall....make sure the "svchost" (Generic Host Process for Win32 Services)
is filtered and not BLOCKED!! then try ur luck again.Im working with win2k
and mcAfee
Cu.....peace out.

I just checked, mine is marked "Allow full access". Soooo, that does not
solve the 0X8007041D problem and I am also running win2k and McAfee.

Check in the Event Viewer to see if there is any specific errors regarding services
