ISASS.EXE System Error...?

First system details:-

--> Dual boot, Win98SE in C & WinXP with SP2 in D
--> 128Mb DDR RAM
--> ZoneAlaram Firewall (with latest updates)
--> AVG 7 FREE Antivirus

Now my problem:- Windows XP failed to boot: in normal as well as safe mode. During booting process (after selecting Windows XP only - Win98 is ok)recd error message "ISASS.EXE System Error. Object not found.

Happened at the time when I was trying to reinstall my modem driver - after uninstallation of modem driver.

At present I'm not able to boot Windows XP in normal mode or safe mode
Pls help.

try reinstalling xp on the same drive, it will ask whether to repair the existing setup or install it freshly. one more thing, if u reinstall it then (i think) ur current programs will work on it as previously.

hope these links help u

hey just pop in ur XP cd at boot-up and Let the setup start.....Then it will tell u about ur Windows xp installation and just choose repair and ur done !!!

Since u said u have Windows 98 as well.....enter 98 and get urself AVAST 4.6 and uninstall AVG coz its of no use !!! AVAST is free too !!! Its much better....install there run a Boot Scan !!!

Coz i feel its the SASSER worm that u have ENCOUNTERED !!!

Problem occured in my elder brother's PC, & he is in another city, so I sent all this information & waiting for his reply.

Isn't Avast little bit more heavy on system? Till the date AVG7 free worked fine for me - light on system & catching worms also. What u say?

Thanks for the help

ok i agree that that avast is one of the lighest on sys resources !!! AVG does not hav updates ready every 1- 2 hours sometimes every 1/2 hour !!! its taht fast with its updates !!! Avast is one of the best REAL -TIME scanners !!!+ Consuming less sys resources + FREE !!!

SO i believe in AVAST !!! in one or 2 months i will complete 1 year using AVAST !!!

So i guess its the best !!

Cheers !!
