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!

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.

throw it away... lol.


any luck yet, just crusious to know what the problem was....

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:
