bootup error

[ANN]

Hi,
Been running WindowsXP upgrade. Have loved it! Now when
I turn on the PC, I get a black screen with a little window
with a system error message... 'lsass.exe: object not
found'. Only choice is to clik 'OK', and then PC starts up
all over again and stops with the same error message. Any
help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thats a security manager error, does it give a status code? When did this
start happening?
