[Guest]

Under SERVICES, my DHCP client won't start. When I try to
start it I receive the message COULD NOT FIND THE PATH SPECIFIED. Under
PROPERTIES the PATH TO EXECUTION is blank. How do I open the properties or
where in the registry do I set the PATH OF EXECUTION to
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs I'll

Thanks.

On my computer, the execution path is in the value named "ImagePath",
of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, in this key:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp

The value is set to "%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs".

You need to look at this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp
\Parameters

Name = ServiceDll
Value = %SystemRoot%\System32\dhcpcsvc.dll

Compare the values you find to those above.
