Receiving the following error on XP professional -
c000021a the windows logon process systems process
terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000080
(0x00000000 0x0000000).
I have tried starting in all variations of safe-mode and I
still receive the same error.
For Stop Messages, start here:
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
On that page, click the "21A" link near the bottom of the menu at left, or
just go down to c000021a (STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED). It gives a
basic description plus three links to possible solutions.
This error condition occurs when Windows switches into kernel mode and a
user-mode subsystem, such as Winlogon or the Client Server Runtime Subsystem
(CSRSS), is compromised and security can no longer be guaranteed. Because
Win XP can't run without Winlogon or CSRSS, this is one of the few
situations where the failure of a user-mode service can cause the system to
stop responding. This Stop message also can occur when the computer is
restarted after a system administrator has modified permissions so that the
SYSTEM account no longer has adequate permissions to access system files and
folders. It's a nasty and discouraging error message to get, and your
smoothest shot at recovery is if you have created recovery disks for your
system.
This is probably the most useful general article on the subject, from the
Win XP Resource Kit:
