Services.exe and lsass.exe any ideas why? -------------------- "Scenes change before my eyes Doesn't matter what I try Close my eyes they disappear Open wide, and they reappear"

I found switching the cd into my other drive would recover a few files, but then it would have the same problems on different files .... was a nightmare! :o Finally got it up and running only to find the services controlling net connections did not install correctly so I couldn't even setup a connection to the net and get the missing files off a mate ... GRRR! After hours and hours of frustration trying to get it working, I ended up doing a new install using a mates Cd the next day. Even so, I still have occassions were the CPU usage spikes right up and stays there... the machine slows to a crawl, even open up a new browser window takes 5 secs or more. I used to have W2K prior to this and it was lightning fast and just as stable ... I miss it and will be sorting out a new partition for W2K soon. Then use W2K for daily use then XP just for games.
