Windows security - specified account does not exist

Help, please

im running windows 7 on a HP Probook 6540 b, im the only one using the computer so I wanted to skip the log on screen, here's what I did I press the Windows key + r and type "control passwords2" in the command box that appeared and unchecked users must enter a user name and password to use this computer not even start in safe mode to help me back

but still, it shows the log on screen and now I can't login my account told me "Windows Security - the specified account does not exist", but my account is still there.

The correct command is actually 'control userpasswords2', not "control passwords2".  And before you uncheck "users must enter a user name and password", you need to click on the name of the account under which you want to log.

  • Gets the error in Windows Denfender for "the specified service does not exist as an installed device (error Code: 0 x 80070424).

    My computer was slow, so I tried to scan all using Windows Defender, and this error message keeps popping up, "the specified service does not exist as an installed device (error Code: 0 x 80070424) I don't know how fx this.» I' of love too see if there is another reliable computer, free softwear that can scan and virus scanning spywear.

    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"

    Hello
     
    1. don't you make changes before the show?
    2. is the laptop connected to a domain or have you tried to connect to a domain?
    3. you have to any other user account on the laptop?
     
    If you have any other user account on the laptop, try logging in there and see if the problem still occurs. If you are able to connect, sever the computer from the domain. Try the following steps to separate the field.
    1. right click on computer from the start menu, click Properties, click Advanced system settings, the computer name, change, select workgroup and workgroup name type.  Click Ok. You will need the necessary permissions to perform this task.

    If the computer is not connected to a domain and you have not made any changes recently. Try to restore the system using Vista DVD.
    To run the restore of the system using Vista DVD, try the following steps.
    1. start in Vista installation DVD.
    2. choose your language settings, and click Next.
    3. click on repair your computer.

  • I get a message saying "the specified service does not exist as an installed service."

    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? Thank you, Shawn White. P.S. that's in the good topic?

    Hello

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    2. what anti-virus is installed on the computer?

    Follow these methods

    Method 1: A Microsoft Safety scanner to make sure that the computer is free from virus infection:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:   Run the fixit in the following Microsoft article and check if it works.

    Solve problems with programs that cannot be installed or uninstalled:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/

    Method 3: Run a file system check Scan (scan SFC)

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Merthod 4: Check services.

    Check if a service is stopped or disabled. You will need to check each service one by one. If you find any service is stopped or disabled, you must start or enable and check if the problem persists.

  • 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!
