Hello I'm speaking from a freshly installed XP Home ed. platform ! ...from
a SP2 slipstream disk I made a while ago ...glad I did !
Obviously I'm now never going to know for sure wha caused it. I was getting
the
"lsass.exe - System Error - "Object not found" box with an OK to click on,
and then after a minute or so PC would reboot.
My a/v was up to date - never was there a sign of a Sasser variant but, I
had just downloaded a "try before you buy" 15 day trial of a telephone call
recording program called "CallCorder." I scanned it with my a/v before
installing - all clear.
I'm wondering if it could have been anything to do with XP Home's bloody
"casual copy prevention," and me changing hardware around? An hour or so
before it happened, I had gone to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled an
Intel 57ep 56k modem, and changed the modem pci card for a Diamond
SupraExpress 56i VCC V92, then later uninstalled that and put the Intel 57ep
back in! ...while trialling CallCorder. Just before I started getting the
lsass.exe box, I got a "log out Richard" screen, there's only one user and
administrator on this non-networked PC.
Couldn't get into any of the F8 startup options - couldn't even get to the
command prompt.
Tried the repair install - same thing ! So gave up, deleted xp partition,
reformatted and reinstalled.
GOD ! ...there's so much to do, just did my 4 registry keys for OE
(progs/data all on 2nd hd thank goodness).
....another thing I noticed after reinstalling - my main large pagefile.sys
on the first drive of my 2nd hd vanished, did XP reinstall clean that up for
me - I though that is would have been left behind for me to clear up?
Before re(slipstream)installing, I had a 60mb pagefile.sys on c:\ and the
system managed big pagefile.sys on the first drive of my 2nd hd.
My instincts tell me it was damaged lsass.exe log on authentication type
thing but, WHAT a BITCH having to reinstall !!!!!.. first time for a couple
of years !
Any ideas as to what destroyed my XP ?
regards, Richard
