Help, did I screw up! I tried to reset a clinet's
computer from logging on to a domain to logging on to a
workgroup by changing the settings in Network
Identification. I clicked off domain and on workgroup
and put a new name in the workgroup name. When I
rebooted I could not log on. I am told that my user or
domain name is in error. Tried Safe Mode, same thing.
Tell me there is way to recover from this goof without
reinstalling Windows. It is a OEM (Sony) Windows and the
only reinstall is via reformat of the hard drive. Help!
