System Error

[Guest]

I am getting the following error during bootup

"lsass.exe - System Error
An invalid parameter was passed to a service of funtion"

If I click OK the computer just reboots and gets stuck at the same place.

Any ideas?

What's the history on this? When did this message start? Did the system
ever run well? What is the malware status and how do you check it?

If the system is clean of malware have you tried a repair install?

Dell XPS 400 running Windows XP Home Edition. The computer was running great
until this afternoon. My wife left it on and my 2-year-old got to the
keyboard. When I found it, some of the icons were moved around but nothing
looked bad. I tried to shut it down normally and it locked up, hard. I
finally had to cut power and try to reboot. Thats when the problem began.
I'm running Windows Defender Beta, Symantec and PC Tools for malware. I tried
reinstalling Windows but the installer said that it couldn't detect a hard
drive. Pretty much stuck now.

Ok try a chkdsk from the recovery console. First off do you have a backup
of the important data on the system? If not do that now. There are a
couple of ways to do this. One is to install the drive in another XP or
Windows 2000 computer as a slave drive and copy the important data. Another
is to do a parallel install of XP to different partition on that drive, then
backup the data. A third way is to use a Linux distro on a bootable CD and
copy the data. Let us know if you need info on the third and hopefully
Malke will see this and respond.

Once the data is backed up boot from the XP installation CD and enter the
Recovery Console. Take the first "R" for repair. Type in the # for the
windows installation, normally "1", and then enter the password for the
built in Administrator account. Since it's XP Home the password might be
unset so just hit enter or tab.

If that gets you in to the command prompt do chkdsk /p.

Then reboot and see if it runs.

Yeah, I solved it.

I have the ERD Commander 2003 disk, a Winternals tool that runs on disk. Get
it, mate, and for the people who have a serial ATA Hard disk, get the boot
disk for your SATA drive because the Commander requests you to "install" the
disk (it does not recognize it by itself).

Then, after starting the Commander, you should perform a System Restore. And
that's it. Roll back windows to a previuos date when the system worked OK.

It worked for me. Try and do it.
