lsass.exe System Error Object name not found SOLUTION!!! FIXED!!!
My PC kept giving me the Object name not found error and rebooting. I was going nuts until I found this fix, which worked immediately for me:
I copied it from Tony Gravagno, who posted it on another site in January 2007. He didn’t spell things out as much as I did.
Here is how to fix it
1) Remove the drive and use it as an external drive in another system. I’ll call it drive X:
2) On that other computer, create the following folders on X:
x:tempregistrynew
x:tempregistryorig
3) start windows explorer and Right click on
X:System Volume Information and assign Full
privileges for your current administrator user.
If you cannot see X:System Volume Information,
then you need to go to the Tools–>Folder Options menu
and click on the view tab.
Then be sure that the following boxes are checxked:
Display the Contents of System Folders
Show Hidden Files and Folders
and UNcheck the following box:
Hide Protected Operating System Files (Recommended)
Then do what was stated at the beginning of #3 above
4) Open the X:System Volume Information and and copy the most “recent” working directory to
x:tempregistrynew . How do you know
what’s recent? The paths are named X:System Volume
Information_restore{x-GUID-x}RP###.
Get the most recent RP### path from a date when the system was working
- never choose RP### from the day on which you discovered corruption.
5) Now you need to back up files that we are going to replace: Copy all of the registry files from x:WINDOWSsystem32config to
x:tempregistryorig . The registry files will probably be the following: SOFTWARE, SAM, DEFAULT, SECURITY, SYSTEM — with no extensions.
6) Delete those 5 files from x:WINDOWSsystem32config
7) Copy those 5 files from x:tempregistrynewrp###snapshot to x:windowssystem32config. Note: the files in snapshot will probably have the following prefix: _REGISTRY_MACHINE_ or _REGISTRY_USER
After copying, edit those file names so that they once again just say SOFTWARE, SAM, DEFAULT, SECURITY, and SYSTEM
