You probably had a program installed at one time that referenced that file, but after uninstalling the program a registry key was never removed (or a reference to the file in the system.ini file, but that is less likely).

Run regedit, backup your registry, then to a search for "vnetbios.vxd". Delete those keys where this shows up (you backed up your registry, right?), and reboot. You should be fine.

If you're really worried about hosing your box, backup your data as well.

Uninstall then reinstall all network components. If you're not on a network then just uninstall all network components.
