I'm not sure if you still get this error, or if you resolved it, but I had the same problem and found this question.
I was getting the same error message, but I was able to restart the service without any errors.
Here are the dependent services that I have running:
- Check Point Virtual Network Adapter - Apollo
- DHCP Client
The DHCP client depends on the following:
- Helper Function Driver for Winstock
- NetIO Legacy TDI Support Driver
- NAS service
Have you checked if these services work? Try restarting them if possible.
This page recommends uninstalling services and restarting the computer. I want to create a restore point before trying to remove any services.
