Isass.exe_System Error

Security Accounts Manager Initialization has failed because of the following
error:

Directory Service cannot start. Error Status 0X00002e1.

Please click OK to shut down the system & reboot into Directory Services
Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information.



Any ideas?

Thanks Bruce
 
Check the event log for more detailed information.

First, if you really have Isass.exe you have a problem. The real XP file is
Lsass.exe.

Isass.exe is from a virus or a trojan.

Update your anti virus software and run a full system scan.
 
I forgot to mention that i tried to go to Restore & it will not let me log
in with my password. It is safe mode.
 
Got enough space on the drive that NTDS is on?
I had similar problem (though I don't recall that SAM was involved
specifically) and managed to fix it. But... it was on an important server
and it took over ten straight hours of work using undocumented switches of
command line tools. If you don't get any betters answers and it's not a
critical machine with irrecoverable data, My opinion is to just re-install
windows again.
If it is critical, post back and I'll find the notes I had for that issue.
 
If we were all as perfect as you we would not need to come here now would
we. On my computer it looked the same I & l not much difference is there
professor?
Enough from the peanut gallery I would rather hear from the people who do
not criticize and help instead.
I hope the spelling & grammar are good now,
 
It is a common mistake to think that lsass.exe is Isass.exe. I merely
pointed out that if you really have Isass.exe, then you have a virus or a
trojan.

Do you or do you not have Isass.exe?
