You might want to try :

1. Restart computer.
2. Hold or press f8 on the first screen you see.
3. Choose Last Known Good Configuration.

Hope that helps.

What happens when you try to boot the recovery disk?

[bouznk]

well i tried to copy the lsass.exe it says it was copied but nothing happends i can i delete the comondo firewall and it will stop blocking lsass.exe

In order to remove Comodo though, you would need to be able to boot into Safe Mode or into normal mode. Trying to remove just the files in the Comodo folder will just lead to problems.

so what can i do? i need help

Do you have an XP CD? If so, boot to the recovery console. Once there, type the following:

expand d:\i386\lsass.ex_ c:\windows\system32\lsass.exe

This assumes your CD drive is D:, this overwrites the corrupted lsass.exe file. Try that and let us know what happens.

when i did that it says
unable to create file lsass.exe
0 file<s> expanded

[diabillic]

Is D: your CD-ROM? Try to browse to it. cd D: and post your results.

Actually, what type of Windows CD are you using? Some OEM's dont have the i386 folder in the default location.

when i put cd d: it gave me
c:\windows>cd D:
D:\

c:\windows>

[diabillic]

OK can you try and browse to i386 and try and find lsass.ex_ in that folder

[bouznk]

how do i do that

[diabillic]

Type D:

D:> cd i386
D:\i386> dir /p

Hit enter after each line break, then keep hitting spacebar as it scrolls down the files until you see lsass.ex_

[bouznk]

D:\i386>dir /p
the volume is drive d is xpsp1a_eng_per
the volume serial number is
