Can't start Win XP, "system error endpoint format is invalid"

[Alex]

I installed several codecs and multimedia free programs.
After rebooting I get this error message:

"lsass.exe - system error
The endpoint format is invalid"

This message appears at the end of rebooting, after the
Windows XP splash screen shows, when everything looks ok,
but ... then I get this window message, and after closing
the window the systems reboots itself.

Don't know what to do. I rebooted swaping hardrives,
replaced all the booting files, the lass.exe file and ..
all the same.

Please help me.

Regards
