SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer, you may receive the following error message:
At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event
Viewer to examine the event log for details.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the NetBios data value is missing from the registry.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
To resolve this behavior, use Registry Editor to add the NetBios data value to the DependOnService multi-string value in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger
The DependOnService multi-string value should include the LanmanWorkstation and NetBios data values.
NOTE: The DependOnService multi-string value is displayed as a hexadecimal number when you use Regedit.exe, and as a REG_MULTI_SZ value when you use Regedt32.exe. Therefore, you should use Regedt32.exe to add the NetBios data value.
