Can’t Log On To My Computer (Windows XP)?

Editor — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 09:06:20 +0000

Hi, so I have a couple of PCs on my home network (a workgroup) and I have a work-issued computer that connects to my work domain. I decided that I need content from my work PC on my other computers. I decided to just change it from the domain to my home workgroup. After setting it to my home workgroup, I restarted the PC. Now my log on username and password are invalid, and I can’t log in at all. I have no system restore programs (like PC Doctor) and I can’t get into windows in normal, or safe mode. Is there a default username and password? I used to log in under my username and password and my work domain. Now that i’ve left the domain it doesn’t let me in at all. How can I get back into Windows?

Thanks for any help,
mersonix

System Specs:
I have an old Dell running windows XP pro (32-bit) service pack 2, less a gig of RAM, small hard drive,

(i don’t use the work computer very often, so i’m not familiar with the specs)

I’m an advanced PC user and builder. (fyi)
Thanks for your help, we got it working.

We told the PC to boot from our Windows XP CD and from there we edited the username and password, got into safe mode, and system restored to yesterday afternoon.

thanks for the help.

Can I use windows 7 for system builders?

Editor — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:05:39 +0000

I just recently ordered a custom system ( link below) but it didnt come with an OS. I want windows 7 and I opted to not have them add it to the system for $130. I wanted to buy it separately to save a few $$ and to learn something for myself. Newegg offers a 64 bit version of windows 7 home premium for system builders ($94.99 w/promo code) and a windows 7 home premium Full Retail version for $179.99. What’s the difference? I can’t find anything in the reviews or specs that would leave me to believe I can’t use the system builder version. Regardless of which one, it must be a version that can do a clean install. System has no OS. Thanks.

Work jigsaw puzzles on your Windows PC! Software features the latest jigsaw puzzle game engine from the creator of Puzzle Master. This version is Vista compatible and features many improvements to the original game engine.
Jigsaws Galore is very easy to use and suitable for all ages. It’s easy to customize the jigsaws or play them as they are.
Fun pieces. Some cute new shapes have been added to the jigsaw pieces. The 22 new shapes include a teddy bear, bunny, tractor, train, kitten, caboose, T-shirt, fish, football helmet, bird, toy duck, butterfly, pig, daisy, dogwood flower, flying bat, terrier, gingerbread boy, poinsettia, turtle, farmer and a head. There is also a selection of realistic jigsaw piece effects in wood, paper or cardboard and a choice of thickness.
Undo mistakes. An undo/redo command has been added to the Tools menu. Some users have been known to accidentally arrange or disarrange pieces by mistake so now you can just click the Undo command in the Tools menu to recover any blunders, ranging from a single piece, to whole groups of pieces, right up to accidentally auto-solving the entire jigsaw. Mystery Mode. A Mystery Mode option has been added to the options menu together with a little button to the right of the tabs in the jigsaw preview screen. Press this button to enter Mystery Mode. Now the preview images of the jigsaws can be hidden from view in this screen.
Cheat features. Auto-solve and other cheat features are available if you need help solving the puzzles. Beat the clock. For an extra challenge, try solving a jigsaw by beating the clock. Screensaver. The screensaver now randomly adds new fun pieces to the jigsaws it shows.

I have a Durabuilders Home, and I need a New Sliding Window. KB Homes now uses the Same Building Materials (As well as Windows & Doors) as Dura did.

I’ve seen some KB & Beazer Homes use American Window Brand, but I’m not sure. Did Dura use American Windows to build Homes in Indiana back in 2000 ?!?

First Time Pc Builder Help With A Windows Operating System?

Editor — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:06:14 +0000

Hi – I have a major problem.
So, I decided to build a PC. I have ordered all the parts, they will be delivered on the 5th. Great.
I’ll build my first PC.
Forgot about software – an operating system! D’oh!
I am a student, and I have made a budget for my money – I can not afford to spend over £100 for software and I do not want to run the risk of an illegal copy.
I heard that students get discounts for Microsoft Office etc…
What about Vista? Home basic, home premium, ultimate I dont care aslong as it’s cheap and it must be x64 bit.
Oh yeah, and because I am building a PC, I need the fully licensed operating system, not one that states UPGRADE!
HELP!!
