Hope I got this right:
(gdb) n
405       if (s_pfn_Get_Sid_Sub_Authority_Count == NULL)
(gdb) p ((SID *)pSid)->Revision
$1 = 1 '\001'
(gdb) p ((SID *)pSid)->SubAuthorityCount
$2 = 5 '\005'
(gdb) p ((SID *)pSid)->SubAuthority@7
$3 = {{21}, {2313625805}, {1149499212}, {3830963393}, {1000}, 
{59246848}, {8579528}}
(gdb)

I will have to get back to you on that one, I'm not familiar with 
setting up other users under Vista. In fact, I'm not very familiar with 
Vista at all. I just got the laptop that came with it.
However, I am running XP using an administrator account.

Hope this information helps in the meantime.
