The MAC Bridge Miniport Service failed to start

[ilceres]

Hi to all

Here the issue: when I reboot a Windows 2003 Server with no MAC Bridge Installed I get the
following error message...

"The MAC Bridge Miniport Service failed to start due to the following error:
the system could not find the file specified."

the service does not appear in the services applet so I can disable it.
Where do I disable this service to prevent it from trying to start?

Thanks in advance

To resolve, Try this:

1.Start Registry Editor (regedit)
2.Locate:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BridgeMP
3.Change the value of the "Group" registry entry to an empty string (delete the default value) "PNP_TDI", and then click "OK"
4.Quit Registry Editor.

Also, Perform steps above on:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet002\Services\BridgeMP (if exists there)

Please see Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB ID: 833375) for similar/related solution.

Note: May have to reverse the process if you enable Routing and Remote Access Service.
