Recently something has happened to my laptop... When I turn it on I get a pop
up message that says "lsass.exe - system error .... an invalid parameter was
passed to a service or function." and my only option is it hit ok which there
fore the laptop restarts and the same message pops up and the headache
begins. I do not have my recovery cd or my install cd and I have tried to
start in safe mode and I get the same system error..... anyone with any ideas
to help me out with this situation I would greatly appreciate them all.

You will not get far if you cannot boot some kind of media, so make
yourself a bootable XP Recovery Console CD on some other system that
works, and then you can boot your afflicted system on that new CD and
then fix it.

Start here:

You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file
and burning it to a CD.

The bootable ISO image file you need to download is called:

xp_rec_con.iso

Download the ISO file from here:

Use this free and easy program to create your bootable CD:

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer that is
working.

You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD ROM
drive
as the first boot device instead of the hard disk. These adjustments
are
made before Windows tries to load. If you miss it, you will have to
reboot
the system again.

When you boot on the CD, follow the prompts:

Press any key to boot from CD...

The Windows Setup... will proceed.

Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

Select the installation you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

You may be asked to enter the Administrator password (usually empty).

You should be in the C:\WINDOWS folder. This is the same as the
C:\WINDOWS folder you see in explorer.

I did as you recommended and once I get to the "select the installation" I
choose 1 and all it does it goes to the next line with C:/WINDOWS
WHAT DO i DO NOW?
