Your original user account was a domain user. You can't log into the domain any more because you don't work there. With a used computer, the very first thing to ALWAYS do is a clean install of Windows. You will not be able to rejoin the domain since you don't work at the company any more and there will be many domain policies and restrictions tattooed on the system which you would want to get rid of anyway. When you do the clean install, the computer will no longer be a domain member.http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html -Clean Install How-To http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Reinstalling_Windows -What you will need on-hand MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
