Starting the Server Service in Windows XP

[Guest]

I have the following error when I start the Server Service of XP
"Could not start the Server Service on Local Computer.
error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."

However the file SVCHOST.EXE is there under system32.
Where can be the problem?
Any answer to this problem is highly appreciated.

Hi

Please start regedit.exe and go to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer

Do you see the value ImagePath there with the value

"%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

It is also important that this one is of type REG_EXPAND_SZ.


Then, under the sub-key Parameters,

Do you see the value ServiceDll there with the value

"%SystemRoot%\System32\srvsvc.dll"

It is also important that this one is of type REG_EXPAND_SZ.

said they were supposed to and im still getting the error. How do we
fix it?
