    Hi,

    I am having problems with Lsass.exe, though it seems like more complicated then that. My computer does not only restart all the time, but I am also having problems with starting up programs. All the icons on my desktop no longer work and basically anything from the menu won’t start up. I keep getting the following error: “Windows cannot find ‘…’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button and then click search”. The only thing that works is opening word files (though I can’t click on the word icon). I can still use the internet but only by clicking on a link in a word file.

    I have tried to follow all kinds of solutions related to the lsass.exe problem, but none of them will work since I can’t open any programs I downloaded. Typing something in Run also doesn’t work because it will only give me the same error. I am desperate to solve this problem. Any help will be very much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help! Problem is solved because I was able to access my downloaded files through task manager. Shame I spend 7 hours on fixing it. Ah well, better then spending money on it :)
