hi. i am running microsoft xp home edition. the computer
was running terribly, so i had to use the recovery feature
on my HP. After doing so, i reconnected to the internet,
but an error message appeared: "System will shut down in
60 seconds *here began a countdown*, Shut down initiated
by NT AUTHORITY/System...c:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe
terminated unexpectedly." Now everytime i try to connect
on my hp, i get this message. The comp. i am running on
now is a Windows98 machine. PLEASE HELP.
