lsass.exe and samlib.dll error message
From what I've researched about the error message:
"lsass.exe - Unable to locate component This application has failed to start because SAMLIB.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." it looks like it's a variant of the sasser worm, my computer may have this with the little detail that it's not letting me boot up, I was wondering if repairing the system with the original windows xp sp2 cd may let me boot up so I could wipe it out...any other suggestions are more than welcome, thanks a lot. |

lsass.exe and samlib.dll error message
Yes booting from the install cd and doing and upgrade/repair installation
may work though it will not remove the virus and you could have the problem all over again but at this point you don't have much to loose. Keep in mind that an upgrade/repair install will require that you first install your service pack [if not slipstreamed into the install disk] and all critical security updates after done. You may also want to look at creating a Bart's PE bootable cdrom/DVD which can allow you to try to repair and clean your dead operating system.
