<div>
oopps. &nbsp;I've made the same mistake before.<br />
<br />
It was a different domain account which only shows the SIDS when I'm not logged onto the domain.<br />
<br />
I was expecting to see &quot;Freds&quot; permissions ........<br />
<br />
So sorry.<br />
<br />
thanks for your help<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro laptop with XP-pro<br />
The main user &quot;Fred&quot; who is administrator, is only displayed as a SIDS number under the Security/Permissions applet.<br />
What's happening and what can I do about it?<br />
<br />
It MAY have happened after I installed the latest driver for the inbuilt WiFi card which has fixed a problem with WPA not working.<br />
So I don't want to roll back, otherwise I'll have the same WPA problem.<br />

SIDS number displayed instead of User name under Permissions

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
