Hi All

Started up my Presario laptop this morning to this error message:

lsass.exe - System Error
Object Name not Found

I cannot get past it - I click OK then it just reboots. Safe mode the same.

I put my XP recovery disk in to get the recovery console, I press 'R' then it asks me which windows I want to log into, I make the choice (there's only C:/windows anyway), put in admin password then it stops at command prmpt. I've no idea what to do next! Does anyone know a fix for this lsass.exe message (it's a small 'L' by the way, not upper case). I don't want ot reformat unless absolute necessary.

Thanks
