    Windows 7 wont log in ( Network path not found? )


    i installed a fresh copy of windows 7 onto my laptop and everything checks out i create a username and name the computer etc but then when it gets time to sign into my account it pops up with network path not found and doesnt let me sign in prompts me for a password when i dont have one too, allows me to click over and select different user and password but i have no other accounts on there, tried to reinstall it after formating the HD again but still no luck

    This sounds like your laptop is trying to connect to a Domain as part of login.

    Is this a "work PC" that you installed Win7 to?

    Sorry ... I know you can sign on using Windows LiveID in Win8, but I'm not aware that you can do that when installing Win7. I thought that in Win7, all logins were "local".

    Did you set up a network drive to be connected at logon?

    nope , ive seemed to have solved it while cycling through to restart as i was attempting restores and scans it finally let me go into safe mode which it hadnt let me do this whole time , i managed to make a new profile set it as admin and went on it and deleted the other and its letting me log on normally now , hopefully the issue doesnt arise again
