Try the folowing, remove the pc from the domain.
logon localy with administrator and try again.

Does not work ? do the folowing.
Start - Run, type GPEDIT.MSC (enter) 
In the screen you see, klik with right on local computer on the top
en get the properties. 

Here disable both settings for policies.
