Hi Mike,

Error 3 denotes "The system cannot find the path specified". This must be
caused by an incorrect image path setting for RemoteAccess service.

Click Start, Run and type:

cmd /k sc qc remoteaccess

Press Enter.

Copy the output and include it in your reply.

My desktop computer is running XP (home) SP2 . For several months now I
have
been connecting to it remotely from my laptop over a VPN. However, it now
appears the VPN isn't working. After doing a lot of checking for possible
problems I decided to run the New Connection Wizard on the XP machine.When
I
select the "Accept Incoming Connections" option, I get a warning message
"Incoming connections depend on the Routing and Remote Access service
which
was unable to start. For more information check the system event log.
Checking the system event log I find two errors; the first is Source:
Remote
Access Event ID: 20152 "The currently configured authentication
provider failed to load and initialize successfully. The system cannot
find
the path specified." The next error entry is from the Service Control
Manager Event ID:7024 "The Routing and Remote Access service terminated
with service-specific error 3 (0x3)." Help and support is very helpful
about this error; "The specified service stopped unexpectedly with the
error
indicated in the message. Windows does not recognize the service's error
code."
Searching other postings I have found two others about this exact problem
but have no idea if they were resolved successfully. I have tried the
procedure outlined in Microsoft article 840686 "You cannot start the
Routing
and Remote Access service on a Windows 2000 Server-based computer or on a
Windows Server 2003-based computer" but no change.

Any help much appreciated.
Mike
