chkdsk autorun - can't seem to disable

I play an online RPG which, due to memory leaks (they all seem to have them) requires restarts, sometimes from a frozen state meaning a hard shutdown and restart. Today chkdsk began to run at restart. I tried to run my defrag, but it will not run as it says that chkdsk is scheduled to run. I have looked in the registry under the local machine>system>currentcontrolset>session mgr to the boot exe but it does not list my d drive to be checked there. I have a p4 3.06 with 1gb ram running xp pro. hd is 40gb, partitioned into c(windows), and d(programs and games). any help pinning this one down would be appreciated.

Edited because I had the wrong registry entry posted - I've checked the one you mention and it is at the default value - chkdsk runs nonetheless every startup.

Hi,Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session ManagerLook for the REG_MULTI_SZ value with the following name: BootExecute. This value contains commands that will be executed at startup. The default value is: autocheck autochk *

After scheduling one or more chkdsks, the entry will contain one or more autochk lines. Delete each of these lines and put the default one in place.

So far this hasn't helped - still cannot run disk defrag, and chkdsk still runs every startup.
