I have windows 2000 professional on my computer at home. Let me breakdown
the events from the las few days, because before then the compuiter was
working fine:
3 days ago:
I get a WINLOGON.EXE error but computer boots up. Most of my desktop was
wiped clean, and the only reason I was able to recover some of the files I
saved under my user profile is because it created a backup user folder. I
tried restarting and I got the error: stop:c000021 (Bad Image checksum) Image
CRYPT.dll is possibly corrupt. Gave up after trying to restart several times
with out success.
2 days ago:
First time I try starting up I get error: C:WINNT\system32\lsass.exe
terminated unexpectedly with status code 128, and my computer restarted
before it was completely started up. Then it would get to the windows screen
and restart and it kept doing that, so I gave up for the day.
1 day ago:
I got the following error codes on separate occasions: First: WINDOWS 2000
could not start because the following file is missing or
corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM, and the computer would keep
restarting. Second: WINDOWS 2000 could not start because the following file
is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM\vgaoem.fon, and the computer would keep
restarting.

I have important files on my C drive that I am afraid I have lost. This is
my father-in-laws computer and he has no idea where disk is. I have try
starting up in Safe mode and evry other mode when you press F8 but nothing
works. Sorry for the novel but I wanted to give a good desription. Any help
is appreciated.
