Weird NetBEUI Error from System control Manager.... ?

Hi Experts,

This error pops up every time the computer is restarted.  Latest version of windows XP SP2 fully patched.

I don't even have the netbeui protocol installed, just TCP/IP.

here's the error:

Disabling NetBeui bindings
To disable NetBeui on a specific adapter, use the following binding path: [NetBindings]
  Disable = "MS_Server MS_NetBeui AdapterX"
  Disable = "MS_MSClient MS_NetBeui AdapterX"

Do you have NetBios over TCPIP enabled in your Local Area Connections>Properties>TCPIP Properties>Advanced>Wins Tab?

Nicely done :) Thank you!!
John6767: no it's currently set to 'default'.

What would netbios have to do with Netbeui that was installed with the IPX suite a while back?
Failing that....

start>run>cmd

sc config netbt start= disabled
NetBeui Stands for NetBios Extended User Interface, so I can see where he was going.
scratch that... Wrong Service anyway....  :)
BTW, glad you got it and you're welcome =)
TY Moto.....

"I don't even have the netbeui protocol installed, just TCP/IP."

Plus, I was assuming it wasnt installed, so wasnt expecting to see that reg key, which is why I went with this one....
Glad its fixed tho....
