When trying to install Windows XP Professional it will stop with about 34
minutes on the install. When i reboot the computer it will ask for the disk
and when i cancel that it shows a system setup log with the message "setup
encountered an error while trying to setup system security" and the message
"an extended error has occured". Any ideas?
 
In Auburn50 had this to say:

Galen,

Thanks for the info, i went through the procedure and finally disconnected
all my external hardware and internal cards that were not required. The only
cards i still have on the motherboard is the hard drive controller and the
video card and it still hangs up at 34 minutes including the cursor. Is there
anyway to remove the current install and start over?

Reboot from the CD ,delete the partition then let windows recreate it
and format the new partition.

Every time I run XP Upgrade Advisor, it stops when it gets to the "Microsoft
DVD Movie Player" system file.
I have deleted DVDplay.exe and all instances of "Movie Player" in the
register, but it still stops.
Any ideas?
 
I am having the same problem.

I had a VIRUS on my machine which the REMOVAL instructions asked me to first
DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE (bah-bye restore points). I did this, and then
following the remaining steps removed the lines from the registry after the
searchs were performed.

When I rebooted, I got the DREADED "lsass.exe - system error/Object Name not
found" message. It got to to the LOGIN screen, but would not log me on to
"MY" account or the ADMINISTRATOR account.

I booted with the SLIPSTREAMED SP2 CD, and went to the RECOVERY CONSOLE. I
was still unable to LOGIN to the Administrator account. Here is where the
FUN started.

I rebooted, and bypassed the RECOVERY CONSOLE, and it saw XP was already
installed and I chose REPAIR. It began the copying files, and rebooted once
to the GUI interface. It got to 39 minutes remaining and stopped. Sat there
for over 4 hours (I left it running). There was NO HDD or CD activity. I
restarted the machine. It immediately gave the dreaded lsass.exe error and
then kicked off the SETUP CONTINUING... It got to 39 minutes again and
stopped. I went to bed. 9 hours later, it was still on that screen.

I am unable to boot the machine without it starting the SETUP again. I have
since installed a BASE copy of XP onto another partition (what I am using
now). I DO NOT TO HAVE TO RELOAD XP totally on my C: drive and reload over
80 programs that I use constantly. How do I either CANCEL THE SETUP, or UNDO
IT?

I have another post on the lsass.exe issue. There has to be a way to
correct this without throwing in the towel and RELOADING from scratch.
