Just recently my laptop would not load windows and after the main load screen it would go black and then a small window would pop up. It reads: lsass.exe - Unable To Locate Component--this application has failed to start because LSASR.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Do you have the installation disk? If so this should solve your problem.

Ok try this, hopefully this can fix your system.

• Put your XP disk into your CD-ROM drive.
• When you boot your computer, there will be a message that says "Press any key to boot from cd.."
• Press a key to boot from the Windows CD.
• You will enter setup. Press r to enter the recovery console.
• Press 1 when it asks you which installation you want to log onto, and press enter.
• Type the administrator password when asked, and press enter.
• Type the following exactly as you see it, and press enter:

  expand CD drive:\i386\ntdsapi.dl_ %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\ntdsapi.dll

• Type the following exactly as you see it, and press enter:

  xcopy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\ntdsapi.dll c:\windows\system32

Have you changed the boot sequence in bios to make the cdrom the first device?

With Toshibas, you have to hold 0 (zero) key while turning laptop on to boot from the CD.

On the other hand, LSASR.dll doesn't look like legit file.
