OK. Think hard. Did you ever receive either of the following messages:
"Services.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc015000f). Press OK to terminate the application."
Did you select "OK"?
"Lsass.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc015000f). Press OK to terminate the application."
Did you select "OK"?
Services.exe is a part of the Microsoft Windows Operating System and manages the operation of starting and stopping services. This process also deals with the automatic starting of services during the computers boot-up and the stopping of services during shut-down. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
Lsass.exe is a system process of the Microsoft Windows security mechanisms. It specifically deals with local security and login policies. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
If this is the case, Windows has become corrupted (possibly prior to this happening with a Trojan). It is possible that these programs are not being started when you boot-up.
You could try running these programs again and then shut down and re-boot. If that doesn't work, we may need to do something a little more drastic. Let me know.
