Help with lsass.exe
When I try to sign in to Windows Live Messenger an only Windows Live
Messenger, it causes LSASS.EXE go to 100% and makes my CPU up to 75 to 85 degrees C in my laptop. I have scanned for viruses and spyware and there is nothing. I tried reinstalling Windows Live Messenger that does not work. I see that other people has this problem, and they have not got it fixed. It does not do this with MSN Messenger 7.5, Windows Messenger, GAIM, or Trillian. So please reply. |

Help with lsass.exe
Read throught before try!
I've a workaround for this problem, which helped me in the same situation. First of all, log off, restart your computer and login to another user account which has administrative rights. (If your computer don’t have one, you should first create one before restarting.) Now you are logged in to the other Administrative acc. Go to C:\Documents and Settings (or the same folder on your system drive) and rename your user account folder for example like this: Befo User After: User.bak Then open the user accounts control panel, and delete your user account named: User. Delete your files too! (Of course nothing will be deleted due to the changed folder name. ) Now go back to the first page, and create an administrator user account named exactly the same, as your previous acc, in my example: User. If you had a password before set exactly the same pass for this acc! Go back to logon screen, and logon to this acc. When all the actions are done by the first logon procedure simply log off! Now login again to the other Admin acc, and delete the folder named User form C:\Documents and Settings and rename your previous folder like this: Befo User.bak After: User If you set the right permissions (see below) you can leave this Admin acc, and return to your old acc. Now launch WLM. It will be like a new install on a new machine. You have to type your logon and pass, set the options you want again, etc... But it’s starts normally again, with no problem, no 100% CPU allocated by lsass.exe. I think the goal of this procedure is setting up a new SID for your account. SID is used for the identification of you on your computer, so after this you will have to take the ownership of your files again, re-add permissions for you on your files and your registry too! Before you start the whole procedure please add permissions for Administrators on your files and on your registry too (By default the Administrators have the right permissions to your registry. If you not concerned about security you can ignore the inconsistency between your new SID and the permissions granted for your old SID on your registry, ‘cause you can acces itt anyway, if you are an administrator.), so you will be able to logon into your old renamed acc, ’cause you are an administrator. After this correct your permissions for security reasons! (Remove the unknown account’s permissions and add your’s!) Be careful with this. You can seriously damage your account including your documents and other data! If you use file-system encryption may your data will be lose! If you use Outlook or Outlook Express your passwords will be deleted, so you’ll have to retype them! May other passwords will be deleted too!!! I think there are 3rd party utilities to change SID. You may try to use one. Don’t try to do this without being completely sure about what you’re about to do! I’m not responsible for the damages ’caused by this! And sorry for my pour English... Good look! |
