The system cannot find the path specified
This wording usually means someone deleted a folder or file. It is the wording for Error # 3. Error #2 is "The system cannot find the file specified" so it cannot find a folder, possibly with the file it wants. It is possibly an exe or dll. This is not a network message as in Routes (though it may be looking for a folder on a network drive).
Only one other has ever reported your exact error (that's not to say that others havn't had it, they maybe didn't specify the path part of the error) and he didn't resolve it, at least in public. Anyway email him and ask him, he uses his real email address.

Get filemon from www.sysinternals.com (this is the third time I've said this today compared to a daily average of 0.00001%) and see what path it wants. Use svchost as a filter (I suppose RRAS is in a service host - but I don't know that) - look on Edit menu - Filter and then sort on results and look for the not founds.
