You receive: The system process LSASS.EXE terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741571. The system will now shut down and restart. If you restart in Safe Mode, you may receive a message similar to: Svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log will be created. This behavior is symptomatic of a corrupted Winsock2 registry key. To fix the problem: 1. Open a CMD prompt. 2. using REG.EXE on Windows 2000, from the Windows 2000 Support Tools, or REG.EXE built into Windows XP, Copy / Paste each of the following lines into the CMD Window and execute it: REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2 /f REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WinSock2 /f REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\WinSock2 /f REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\WinSock2 /f NOTE: You may receive a 'not found' error on one or more of these commands. 3.
