For a couple of days I was receiving the following error on my XP Pro laptop when I would try to boot the machine:
“lsass.exe System Error
An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed irrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system’s image of the registry.”
I could not boot the machine even in safe mode. Norton GoBack was installed and when I finally disabled it at the boot screen, I was able to boot the machine.
Is there anything I should do to avoid this error in the future before shutting the machine down? Windows had installed the indexing service and my drive space is now down to 4.4GB (7%).
The only other clue is that Windows explorer locks up alot. I have done a thorough SpinRite analysis of the drive and it all checks out good.
Just want to do anything else that might avoid the problem again (or be prepared for it) before I shut the machine down.
Thanks.

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009Why do I get this message? I JUST bought the computer (Desktop, HP) two days ago, and now every time I shut down I get this error message, blue screen, and then it restarts..so I can’t even shut my computer down!
Why am I getting a ’schtask.exe” error message before I shut down? Thanks!
