hi, i have an xp home system. when i try to logon it gives me the error "the
system cannot log you on because the domain <computername> is unavailable"

this is a standalone system that of course was never part of a domain. Safe
mode allows me to log on normally. If i create a new user in safe mode
without a password upon reboot the computer will ask me for a password and
then give the above error message.

thx
 
While logged in via Safe Mode, right click My Computer. Select Properties, Computer Name. Click the Network ID button. Ensure that the machine has not inadvertently been joined to a domain.
 
thx for the info Doug, But as far as i know, XP Home is not capable of
logging onto a domain by default. (unless you know of some sort of registry
hack) Therefore those options are not available.

But this is how i fixed the problem, I uninstalled Ghost Surf Platinum. It's
some sort of internet security program.
