Similar Questions

• The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

  Last night I completely disconnected my laptop. This morning when I turned on the machine, she does everything as planned. When I reached the screen that requires a password to connect to Windows, the following error message came after I saw that my password and press ENTER.

  The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

  I use Windows Vista Ultimate and the laptop connected to a wireless router.

  I tried to restart and stop several times. It did not work. I did a Diagnostic Windows memory check and it went well. Also, I restarted Windows in Safe Mode and some other modes and received the same exact error message.

  Thanks in advance for your answers!

• "The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted" then tried to connect to Windows

  Original title: could not open a session after computer F8\Repair selection

  Running Vista Home Prem

  Dell Inspiron 1501

  No Cd MFG.

  I have recently been struck by application pretty nasty virus/malware and want to do a factory restore. The problem I have is that when I select the option to repair through F8 at startup I get to the logon screen and all it shows is 'another user' in the way witness name of user/pass fields.

  I tried every possible user and the user/pass combo I could find and think. Every time I have enter a value in these fields and try to connect, I get the message "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted", if I try to log in without putting information in the field I get a msg of windows security saying that I have a user/pass to open a session.

  I looked in all possible aspects of user accnts, changed the need to open a session, deleted all passes, gave full control to all parts of windows and I still get the same screen.

  I need to know if there is a way around this or if the virus has changed the aperture setting of session for the repair operation? Also, if someone could tell me what measures the system and what files it loads when you browse the F8 repair op.

  Anything you could tell me would greatly

  Thank you

• Vista the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted

  Hello

  I recently had problems with viruses etc on my computer and because of its extremely slow performance I want to re install windows vista to make it to its factory settings.  I use a laptop HP 530 which has a HP Backup and Recovery utility, which is able to reinstall windows by using the backup that is held on a separate partition.  My computer is not outside of a work group and I'm the only user on the computer with full administrator privileges.  I know also that the password of my account and mine is the only account set up on the system.
  However, when you attempt to reinstall Vista, when the computer restarts at the beginning I wonder put a username and password.  I tried to leave this blank, enter the username and password for my account and nothing else I can think of.  Annoyingly. I get the error message "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted" every time and so I am unable to reinstall windows because I can't get past.  I reinstalled windows in the past and never encountered this problem.  As far as I know that I did not recently, major changes on the system other than the elimination of viruses etc.
  If someone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate!

  Hi, im having problems with windows vista where whenever I try to update my system (security, java, adobe) or I right click on the sound icon in the toolbar of my screen (and open) section, I get the message saying that the specified service does not exist as an installed service. SO, I searched online and which did not help. Oh and by the way, when I get the options after I have right click on the sound icon, I can't click on the mixer. IM using a dell inspiron 531 and it works on windows vista and is very slow, almost never answers (only restores the games that I have on it) and has an athlon processor. What should I do?

  Hello

  Windows Defender is an antispyware software, not an Antivirus.

  If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

  There is nothing to worry.

  Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

  If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

  "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

  Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

  Once modified, click apply and OK.

  Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
