I am receiveing the above error message when XP Home edition gets to the
screen where you select the account you want to logon to. The error is
restarting XP. Can someone tell me how to correct the problem?

Thanks,
Michael
 
You might access "Windows Advanced Option Menu" by pressing F8 after
postboot and try "last know good configuration" or enter in safe mode. If
you get in perform a system restore to an earlier date, if not you may have
to do a repair install of windows (which should only be a last resort as
you'll need to update windows including SP2.) lsass.exe can be damaged or
replaced by worms and viruses so a thorough virus scan is also needed.
