Getting lsass.exe and lsasrv.dll error

[mallik]

I am having a problem booting into my system. The black windows screen comes up when it's booting but then instead of the windows desktop showing up I get a black screen with an error message saying "lsass.exe - unable to locate component. Application failed to start because lsasrv.dll was not found"

I tried to do a recovery using the XP install CD, but I can't get past the password part. How should I go about fixing it? I remember reading here about an ultimate bootable recovery CD that has all of the important required utilities, but I can't seem to find it.

can you boot into safemode? If so, scan the drive for error by checking the "Automatically fix file system errors" option.

No, I can't boot into safe mode or any other way. I get the same message.

You can try to do a repair install of Windows XP. Go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917964

Thanks, I tried to do a repair install but it asks for a password in the recovery mode and I can't get past that part.

Here's the UltimateBootCD. Burn it as an ISO, and run the virus programs.

Good Luck!

Did this ultimateBootCD help? I've got the same error when reebooting after I had set up a Netgear wireless router.
