Windows XP- lsass.exe 60second System Shutdown Problem lsass

[Pankaj]

I have XP Pro and have noticed that each time I click on any icon within hotmail.com, it takes atleast 5 to 7 sec for the cursor to show underline on the icon (to be able to click). When I open Task Manager, I see that each time I am clicking on some hotmail icon, the lsass.exe process comes up on CPU utilziation, and then goes down.

Why is this lsass.exe process getting executed each time I click on hotmail (like on read, delete etc).

This does not happen on any other web pages (I have yahoo too)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've read through all the solutions. Unfortunatly, since the computer will not boot into windows, nor will it boot in safe mode to the cmd prompt, none of the solution are viable. Does anyone, including microsoft, have a REAL solution to this problem? Thanks.

do all you people get this very regularly or is it just every now and then.

Ive recently started getting this problem but its on the odd occasion ive ran numerous online scanners, normal anti viral scanners, removal tools, spyware tools etc none of which worked, however i think what is causing it is other .dll files failing, in turn they make the lsass.exe fail and then because of the way the lsass.exe is it make the RPC box pop up and restart windows to fix the failing module, im not sure if i read it here but you can stop the RPC box appearing when lsass.exe fails by typing services.msc into the run box, you then find have to find the remote procedure call service, right click it and select properties then click recovery, change the first failure,second failure and third failure to restart the service, this seemed to stopped my pc producing the 60 second shut down box and instead displayed an error box saying lsass.exe failed and that it is restarting the service back up

the .dll files that i have found to cause the lsass.exe to fail are msvcrt.dll, mshtml.dll, ntdll.dll

hope this helps for some people who have tried everything and dont want to format or have formatted repeatedly

by opening the event viewer you can see what might be failing for you or whatever and track down the source (run then enter eventvwr.msc then look under application), i found the error code lsass.exe was producing, tapping this into the MS website highlighted one 1 error relating to windows server 2k3 and so no proper fix for 2k or XP, you might be able to find a proper fix for youself, other than that my other concern is that theres yet another, blaster/sasser worm variant running amok that hasnt been caught

I had the problem that every time I tried to download the fix my computer would shut down before it finished. If anyone else has this problem, as soon as the warning message pops up, go to Start Menu->Run and type "shutdown -a" (Without quotation marks) and it stops the shutdown process. Hope this helps.
