CAUSE:
The registry entry for DataBasePath was corrupt.
FIX:
The Registry key in question is: HKEY_Local_Machine\System\ControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters.
On XP the path for the database files is %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc
1. Run regedt32
2. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
3. Click on the 'Parameters' key in the left pane
4. Select the 'DataBasePath' key in the right pane
5. The entry should point to %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc
6. Correct incorrect path to read as follows: DataBasePath:REG_EXPAND_SZ:%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc
