launch Registry Editor (click Start > Run, type regedit and press [Return]). Click HKEY_USERS and make sure there’s a (Default) value with (value not set) as its Data. If this isn’t the case, right-click (Default) and select Delete to recreate the key. If it does have this key, open HKEY_USERS and check each of the keys beginning with S-1-5-21 for the same value.


good luck
i hope this works out for you =]
