To resolve this problem, follow these steps from the SoftGrid Client:  Start Registry Editor. Expand the following registry subkey:

 Double-click the FileName registry entry. In the Edit String dialog box, note the path in the Value data box. In the Edit String dialog box, click Cancel, and then exit Registry Editor. Start Microsoft Windows Explorer, and then locate the path that you noted in step 4.</li> Verify that the path exists. If the path does not exist, create the path, or modify the value of the FileName registry entry to match the actual path.</li> Exit Windows Explorer, and then start the SoftGrid Client service.</li></ol>
