Okay, I really hope you figure this out...

Hey Mal,

OK, his idea was even better than mine. You are going to create a virtual Operating System on your PC which will allow you to run the Stinger application, which removes the W32.Sasser.worm, the most likely cause of your problems. You will also be able to run the fix given to you by Scouse in this environment, and then you should be able to boot back into Windows, and have no more errors.

First you will need to get the ISO copy of The Ultimate Boot CD Full Copy (scroll down the page), and burn that into a bootable CD. ISOs need to be burned a special way, using a burning program that can create bootable CDs. Nero works extremely well, you can get a free trial and use it to create the CD. You will also need to burn Stinger to a CD, and have the Lsass.exe file burned there as well so that you can copy it over.

Once you have created the bootable CD, put in into the problem PC and boot up. Choose the Linux envirionment. From there run Stinger, and the previous instructions. Remove the CD, and reboot the PC.

We will be looking forward to your reply, and keeping our fingers crossed .

Sorry, ladygreenwitch for the late reply. I was embarressed because I didn't use your method... I'm just so impaciant. We had no CD's, and my family was going to Chicago, and I just wanted Windows back, so I reinstalled Windows. Thank you for all your help though, I really appreciate it!

Words from a very impaciant 14-year old with an unreliable laptop...

LOL, no worries Malachi, I understand, I have one of you at home. LOL

Listen, here is the thing, you had a very serious infection on your laptop, you need to take measures to avoid this happening again. Please (I cannot stress this enough), read the article in my signature, PCHF Protect Your PC. It is not too long, and it will tell you everything that you should be doing to protect yourself and your files.

In the future, don't be such a stranger, we all understand being impatient. Look forward to seeing you in the forums, make sure to recommend us to your family and friends.
