Keep getting the error
"Insufficient privelege to load the key."

Yet in the key that I'm loading within I've not only added Administrators as
having full contro, but have also checked "Replace existing privileges on
all existing subkeys."

Anyone know how to get around this?

Path to key would help.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root

I've also tried and failed in the subkey
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root
which happens to be the control set that CurrentControlSet refers to

After replacing the LEGACY_DHCP subkey in that one, I plan to also replace
other subkeys within the the following other subkeys:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\FA3105\Parameters\Tcpip
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NDISLoop4\Parameters\Tcpip
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NdisWAN3\Parameters\Tcpip
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters

DHCP client is definitely corrupted on this computer so I'm replacing only
the subkeys pertaining to DHCP with those of a known good system hive that
was backed up in the recent past.

You must have the SE_RESTORE_NAME privilege (right).

Privileges (rights) are different from permissions.

Essentially (assuming you haven't changed things around), that means you
must be an administrator on the machine.

I don't know VBS, and even if someone were to provide me with a script for
doing whatever needs to be changed, I don't have VB loaded on the machine.

From the resource kit:
Do not attempt to change the permissions on the Enum subkey. If you do, you
might damage the sequence of inherited permissions in the registry. If you
change the content of the Enum subkey, you can damage the Plug and Play
functions of Windows 2000 and prevent devices from operating. If you must
gain access to the Enum subkey, contact Microsoft Product Support Services.

To display hidden devices, non-Plug and Play devices, and devices not
attached to the computer (commonly known as "ghosted" or "phantom" devices),
type
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
at the command line. Then, use Device Manager to remove or reconfigure these
devices. Do not edit the registry.

That said you'll need to take ownership of the subkey to access.
