Permissions Issue, Disk Utility and Terminal doesn't fix

My 2010 Macbook Pro 13'' running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, one day decided it didn't want to work anymore. It got really bad real quick. I wasn't able to update or change everything file on my system. I ran Disk Utility and Repaired Permissions and it somewhat fixed the problem. Some functions still don't work. I went through some random files and check the infomation on the file and got this as the set permissions.

I tried using the "sudo chmod 755 /'file'/ and nothing changed and the files still don't work.

Please Help!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

On those files try removing ACEs by runnign the following version of the command:

chmod -N path/to/file

Let us know if that removes the extra "everyone" group for those files.

How do I do this command on a folder and all of subdirectories and all the files within those subdirectories. Almost every file in my Home folder has this problem. This happened when I downgraded from Mountain Lion DP1 back to Lion 10.7.3
