When I start the DHCP service it stops within a few seconds. I get this error in the event log. I have tried removing all files from c:\windows\system32\dhcp and these are recreated when start service but then the service stops
These files may be available here:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\AppCrash_svchost.exe_DHCP_6048bd918945eecf16bbf8543676ec522e4295b_026990ba
No I checked that first and no event 1053 Oddly enough after 3 hours of trying to get this working it is now working. The only thing I did was uninstall an online backup we don't use any more. I had also removed all files from the system32\dhcp folder then started the service. It recreated the files but then stopped. So I deleted them all again and put the original ones back and now it is working and has been for about 20 minutes

do you see any event id 1053 in the system log?
