ISASS.EXE

[Alan]

I get an ISASS.EXE error when I try to boot up XP Home.
The error is something along the lines that a password
cannot be changed for some reason or other. Sorry I can't
be more specific - the dialog box is there for all of half
a second, then the machine reboots. Anyone got any ideas
what might be going on? Cheers

Alan

To have time to read the details on the bluescreen you need to turn off
automatic reboot from Control Panel, System, Advanced tab, Startup and
Recovery button. Then when it happens write down the exact error message
which will usually provide at least a hint at the cause. Post back with the
error message details if you can't figure it out.

Malke has said recently, in regard to the lsass message:
Unfortunately, the best solution (and actually the only one that has
ever worked for me) is to do a clean (format the drive) install. If you
haven't backed up your data, slave the drive in another machine, copy
the data, burn onto cd-r, and then return the drive to original
machine. Format and install, restore data from backups. Learn to backup data
onto cd-r regularly because bad stuff will always happen with computers.
