Home Installation With Finding A Domain
Jul 13, 2005This is a new installation on a new hard drive. I got to the point of entering registration information. The next screen asks to click on the user entered os the registered user on the prior screen and then asks for a password. Out of habit I tried my old password. I then tried no password and again with a space as the password. I tried a few others also to no avail. In all cases I get, "the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."How do I get past this so I can setup the domain and whatever else it may need?

Jul 7, 2008I need a free program to run a logoff script in Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional. It has to not depend on the network, so no netlogon share or something.I've ended up being made aware of several ways to do this from searching, but I can't find an already built program that does this. There's HSLAB shutdown folder lite, but it has quick shutdown. I just want a logoff script, no other changes to Windows XP. There's group policy which is perfect, but doesn't support Windows XP Home. I don't want to get it to run on Home, that might be illigal.

Jul 12, 2005This is probably a fairly straight forward answer to this and I have searched the forum but can't find someone with exactly the same problem so I thought the best thing to do was post a new thread. My brother has a dell laptop which came pre installed with windows XP Home edition when he brought it. Some time ago he had some problems
with it and because he could not find his recovery CD at the time someone gave him a different copy of windows XP Pro which he tried to load because the serial number that he was given was incorrect it did not complete the installation.After speaking to Dell they sent him out the restore CD which loaded the XP Home Edition on which works fine but on boot up it give you the option of booting into either.

Home And Pro Not Playing Nice Together Via Home Wifi?
Jul 2, 2009I'm trying to share folders between two laptops set up on a home wifi workgroup. Currently, both laptops are "seeing" each other's share folders (as mapped network drives), and both laptops have full internet access I have allowed simple file sharing on the XP Pro system. I have also set the firewalls to allow access, and I'm using AVG firewall instead of Windows firewall.However, only one of the computers is allowing access to the other. The XP Pro computer can access the share folders on the XP Home computer, but not vice versa. When using the XP Home computer, I can map the shared folders on the XP Pro computer, but when I try to access them, I get denied access.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFinding My HD - Formatt C D Drives
Jul 15, 2005I need help. I have two HD installed on my pc. One HD is an 80GB and the other is 40GB. I have the 80GB HD partition into two drives of 40GB each. So I had a C,D,and E drive. My computer was beginning to get cluttered and was running a little slow so I decided to wipe my 80GB HD and re-install the operating system (XP Pro). I went ahead and wiped the drive and reinstalled the operating system. I also partition the drive once again to two 40GB HD's. Everything went as planned however I can only see my C drive now. I do not see my D or E drive. I am really worried because my E drive was used to back up all my files and I was thinking since I did not touch that drive all should be well and in tack. My question is how do I find my D and E drive and will all my files still be in my E drive?
