I am having a serious problem with users or profiles not
sure. In computer management, UNder Users/properties and
ADministrtors properties, I have a "face" with a question
mark and a long string of numbers instead of "domain user"
and "domain administrator"

I just set this computer up and loaded stuff and now I
can;t access it except as admin.
 
Hi,

Those are SID's that cannot be associated with an account in the SAM
database.

Try removing those SID's and then adding the correct accounts with the
necessary permissions.

This usually occurs when the accounts have mis-match SID's

For example:

user1 account sid=x and is assigned via permissions

Then

user1 account sid=y for some reason, reinstall or something, therefore the
sid=x no longer references user1 because user1 sid has changed.
