Solve : lsass.exe - System Error?

Answer»

Hi

I'm running a pretty OLD virus-riddled PC with XP, and it works fine but this morning this message comes up whenever I turn it on.

I'm the only user on the PC, and its not on a network or on the internet.

I'm pretty clueless, although I know its something to do with the login/registery.

Thanks! Joseph-J ........  WELL ,based on your comment re the viruses ........ I think that entry may well be a off shoot of the sasser virus.
I would do the following .
Turn off your system restore.
Reboot into safe mode
Run you anti virus scanner and see what it turns up .
Has this machine ever been on line ?


dl65  Do you have a real XP CD to format and reinstall to get a working system? Quote

YEAH, ages ago. It had some viruses but seemed to be running ok, if a little unstable. I did some research and apparently isass is a sasser offshoot, but lsass is supposed to be there.

And no, I don't have the XP CD any more.

I dunno. Maybe I should just buy a new computer!

Cheers for your help ANYWAY guys. Quote

That seems rather extreme when an XP CD could get everything back to normal. What are the specifics about the machine? DO you have a valid COA stickered to the machine?
