Windows Server 2003 - boot Lsass fail init 0xc0000142 after winupd

Hi There,

After downloading updates a few days ago, my Windows 2003 Server failed to
start after reboot.

When the system starts, then before logon screen appears this popup message
is displayed:
Window Title: "lsass.exe - Application Error"
Window Message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142).
Click on OK to terminate the application."
Buttons: "OK"

When I click "OK" nothing happens, and the server is not answering any
sessions over LAN/WAN and of cause no netlogon prompt is shown.

I have run MS AntiSpyWare with latest definition files and F-Prot Antivirus
also with latest definition files prior to posting this message.

I can start the server in SAFE-MODE, but even when i set most services to
disabled or manual startup, then the server won't start.

Can anyone help me then, this would be highly appreciated, since this is a
server hosting is also my webhosting, mail, and ftp server :(

Waiting in anticipation...

Stefan B. C.
