Gerry,
Here is some info on my system:
I have XP Home SP2 on an HP Pavillion Celeron 330D. I run Grisoft AV and
Microsoft antispyware. I have Works 2005 installed too. My daughter has an
account on the machine: she uses MSN Messenger a lot. My son's PC is also on
the same network.
In the last week she installed and unistalled a MSN Messenger Plus! 3. I
installed a new IrDA USB driver and Alcatel phone software. I installed
FireFox 1.06 on the 30th but I have done a system restore to the 29th (on
1st Jan) to try to solve the error.
Below are warnings from the event long for the previous two days, as
requested:-

Thanks for any help you can give.

ps I noticed that when I click on the OK button when the error on boot
"LSASS.exe An invalid handle was specified" arrives, the machine reboots
(successfully).
