A computer is only a member of a domain when it has been joined to a domain that has
a domain controller, so I am a bit confused about your problem with the domain not
being found which is a message that a user could get when trying to logon to a domain
computer and there is no domain controller available.
Make sure you are trying to logon to your local machine. The name of your computer
should be showing in the log on to box under the box where you enter your password.
Try selecting the drop down box arrow to the far right of the log on to box to see if
there is more than one selection of log on to options.
You should try to logon to your local machine with the local administrator account.
If you can not see the link below for things to try. If you are able to logon and
still have permission problems, see the second link on how to restore your security
settings including ntfs permissions to default defined levels using the secedit
command. --- Steve
