Computer will not go past startup

[xxcraig]

Hello,

so i was in the process of trying to completely get rid of any spyware/viruses that may have been on my computer. yesterday, i did an exhaustive amount of scans with a number of different programs. i then unistalled a program or two i hadn't used in forever. i had even d/l'ed the newest version of java to install upon restarting.

well once i restarted the computer, before it could finish loading at startup an error message came up reading:
lsass.exe - system error
object not found

not sure exactly what i did to cause this. when scanning with the online scanner F virus scanner it found and deleted 2 spyware files. also the only other thing i can think of is earlier before restarting, i had also used my registry cleaner. anyway any help in this situation would be much appreciated because i have no idea what i'm doin here. lol thnx!

See if you can enter the command prompt mode (C:\Windows\) and try doing a chkdsk (checkdisk) it might help. This is a registry problem, you can allways remove the HD, put it in enclosure and use it as an external HD to back up the files and after that just format the HD. Or, try installing windows on top of the existing OS. Or,
try this software to recover your data, and format.

if there is a better way, i am sure someone here will help you out.
