According to the message in picture "test.png", you are attempting to restore a database backup made on SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 (v10.50.4000) to a server running SQL Server 2008 SP1 (v10.00.2531). This can't be done - you can't restore a database backup from one version of SQL Server to a server running an earlier version. For SQL Server release / build information, see the [SQL Server Builds blog][1]. According to picture test2.png, this is showing you running an instance of SQL Server Management Studio, a client application, that was released with the original release (or RTM) version of SQL Server 2008 R2 (v10.50.1600). That SSMS dialog box does *not* show the version of SQL Server running on your server. The item you highlighted in the SSMS Object Explorer is the version of SQL running on that particular server.

There could be missing database username in db_users table or deprecated symbols in username or may be something else.
