From: Ben C on 5 Feb 2007 19:19 Thanks, John. But the solution on that site assumes that I can get to Windows. I can't get to START - PROGRAM, etc. .

From: Tony Sperling on 5 Feb 2007 20:31 One random tip - If you are running Active Directory: http://www.securityfocus.com/advisories/5544 If not, MS KB ( the Knowledge Base, seem to favor Johns suggestion of this being related to the Sasser thing! ) I would run a thorough virus check on everything that has been into contact with your machine since this happened.

From: Dshai on 6 Feb 2007 05:04 Ben, Try F8 while booting to get the boot menu, then select safe mode, if your boot is successful you should then be able to run a thorough virsu scan which should ID and quarantine the virus if it's present, it does sound like a Sasser infection. -- Dshai Life is only limited by those living it...

From: Ben C on 6 Feb 2007 08:21 Thanks, Dshai. I tried Safe Mode. It does the same thing, i.e loops back to the message "lsaas.exe - Buffer Overflow". -- Ben "Dshai" wrote: > Ben, > Try F8 while booting to get the boot menu, then select safe mode, if your > boot is successful you should then be able to run a thorough virsu scan > which should ID and quarantine the virus if it's present, it does sound like > a Sasser infection. > > -- > > Dshai > > Life is only limited by those living it... > > "Ben C" <BenC(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:411222B5-BB3B-4D97-963C-FE43682E020C(a)microsoft.com... > > Thanks, John.

In this case, I think you should make a 'Repair Install', it will keep your personal files but will require re-installing any SATA and/or RAID drivers plus all the Windows Updates! Then, have your AV do a full Boot-Time scan. You said in your first post that you tried booting off a setup disk - if this still fails, check your BIOS and the Boot-Order, or you can try [F11] after POST and your BIOS might serve you a Boot-Menu? If all this fails, I would have a look in the BIOS section of your motherboard manual and check how you can reset the BIOS to it's default - sometimes you have to short two pins on the board, and sometimes you should remove the CMOS battery for ten seconds, and sometimes the BIOS has it's own internal function to save and reset. Some BIOS's you can flash online. That's an option too. If the machine does not respond at all, I guess we are talking a new motherboard? Tony. . .
