The system process 'C:\WINNT\System32\Lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code 128. The system will now shut down and restart

The above error will occur if the following events transpired

1. You installed the 271976 Hotfix Rollup Package and DID NOT RESTART

2. You installed the 274172 FIX: Adding Multiple Users to Active Directory Can Cause Memory Leak When Setting Passwords and restarted your computer

3. You installed the Windows 2000 High Encryption Pack and restarted your computer

In the above scenario, a mismatched version of Advapi32.dll remains on your disk

To resolve this issue

1. Boot the Windows 2000 Recovery Console

2. Switch to the System32 folder, cd system32

3. Type ren advapi32.dll advapi32.old and press Enter

4. Type copy c:\winnt\$ntuninstallq274172$\advapi32.dll and press Enter, where C:\Winnt should be replaced with the drive and folder in which Windows 2000 is installed

5. Type exit and press Enter
