Hi!
I installed Windows Vista without any problems on my Desktop. Now I tried installing it on my Laptop, but everytime Vista boots and I try to log on it just says: "Windows Security" (title) "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." What am I doing wrong? I didn't select a domain, nor was I able to find out how. I tried Safe Mode, and the Startup Repair program, but nothing helped. I see two accounts on startup: Administrator and Guest. I can't log-on to either. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!  Paul |

Sounds like a DNS issue.. did you join the computer to a domain?
Have you logged onto it successfully yet? From what I have read so far.. Vista has a few network drivers issues. Can you verify that the network is infact working? |

I'm re-installing Vista right now. I was unable to verify if the networking worked, as I was unable to log-on to the system. I have not changed any network settings. The laptop is Centrino based.

Yeah I am having the same problem.
 And why the hell would it need DNS? I'm not trying to join a domain or run as a domain controller or anything. Well some how I doubt it's this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;834859 Just found this so about to try: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;314366 This post has been edited by war59312: Aug 19 2005, 12:09 AM |
