lsass.exe - object name not found

[bigkid]

I am running Windows XP pro sp2 and whenever I start the machine in
normal mode or safe mode, XP will load to the logon screen and pop up a
dialog box that reads, "lsass.exe - object name not found" with an
option to press "OK".

When I press OK the computer reboots and comes back to the same error.
I cannot get around it in normal mode or safe mode as the error appears
in both. I originally was infected with malware(mljge.dll). I removed
the file and the entry in the registry for this file and when I
re-booted this problem started.

Is there a way I can fix this without restoring the entire operating
system or removing the hard drive? Any way to run removal tools and
repair the LSASS.exe file outside of Windows?

Did you try the option to "start using the last good configuration"?
