Every start-up, I recieve a Security Accounts Manager error: handle is not
valid. Error 0xc0000008, from Issas.exe. Working on Windows XP, SP2, standard
layout. The problem with this error is it disallows the starting of Windows
and then says it'll start in Safe Mode, nope, won't do it, goes to the basic
Windows mode. So, I decide to manually start in Safe Mode, in fact, all three
flavors of Safe Mode, but I get the same error.

Anything special in terms of system information? Well, a night or two ago I
got an update message and then a failure to reboot message after it
automatically restarts (I was asleep at the time.) Not realizing this, I got
a message from the Webroot product Spy Sweeper that a new file has been found
on my system. I select remove. A bit later, I noticed that an application has
been running in the background, "dumprep.exe," increasing in devoted system
resources and even duplicating, I end this and run Spy Sweeper, nothing too
bad. To be safe, I ran Ad-Aware, just to pick up what it could have left
behind, nada. Because I'm paranoid, I ran HiJackThis (in case you haven't
noticed, I have had some problems with this junk in the past, college
networks tend to often be targets and then spread when the computers are
brought back) and compared the log to previous logs and nothing was out of
the ordinary. Today, after a restart, I get the message.

If it helps, I'm running a home LAN (but it's not the service computer) and
it's a laptop.

Sorry about being long, but you never know what information may be helpful.

Anyone? Any help? Should I include more information?
