Hi,

Likely no, you are not running a beta. I still see this common error on
production machines, including the one I'm using right now. I've yet to
recieve a satisfactory explanation as to why it occurs, but I believe it to
be a leftover generic response from the beta phase that simply was never
removed.

You need only run winver from the start/search line and verify that your
build is 6000 (release) or 6001 (SP1) to eliminate any possibility that you
are running a beta distribution.
