Visualizer Forums - View Single Post - lsass.exe System error: The endpoint format is invalid.

Hi Darren and thank you for your interest. The direct answer is "No, not exactly". I just want to clarify that, indeed, the problem started, or better created due to the addition of the PATA drive (from my second PC). My system works fine with this drive as primary master and DVD+RW as Secondary Master, but it has problems when I am trying to set it to the initial state (only DVD+RW as Primary Master alone). I cannot understand why. I have installed or change positions to hundred of drives untill today and I have never had such an issue with the OS. I am not 100% sure that the problem is with letter assignments, because I believe that Windows XP are good enough to handle such simple changes. It maybe something with the Intel chipset drivers, but there is not a newer version. I also tried to re-install them from the safe mode, all done correctly but no solution to my problem. Additionally, I am afraid that maybe the virtual drives of Alcohol (I had them from the beginning) have something to do with this mess. That's all from me. Thank you.
