I had already tried this, before I posted my thread here, but it did not work.

By the way if you read the article above, it mentions the "internal local area connection in the Connections box" ,,,,,,,my case I have got two NICs one is wireless and another is wired.....Which should be the fisrt in the list ?

If both are connected to the network at the same time, I'd say the wired card should be first in the list. The error you're seeing is a failure to query objects in the domain or Active Directory. If you don't have an Active Directory, then am I correct in assuming that the accounts and groups are all local to your machine?

Yes, you are correct

When you click on this tab and receive the error message, is anything logged into your event viewer as a warning or error?

I cleared event viewer, and I repeated what I did previously, nothing logged in.

Have you tried running "sfc /scannow" from a command prompt? This seems odd in that it isn't logging anything about the error...

[zillah]

I have been advised to look at this link

http://hometown.aol.com/jeffesmi/CMIT366M/366paper.htm

the link above advised to use "sfc /scannow"

Then I used this link:

http://www.updatexp.com/support-files/scannow-sfc.pdf

The process of sfc/scannow completed without any error.

Do I need to do something extra ?

[cluberti]

I would suggest, if sfc /scannow doesn't help, reinstalling the latest Service Pack and Update Rollup package to your system to make sure that your system files are all using the latest version (to avoid file mismatch issues). After that, I'm not sure there are any options short of a rebuild, unfortunately.
