groupwise 5.5 settings not saved

[penguinroundup]

hi, I have a user trying to run groupwise 5.5 on Windows XP. The program installed fine, and it runs, however whenever we reboot her system, I have to re-enter her password, and the IP address of the server for the client to connect. If I make her a member of the local admins group on the machine, this does not occur, but as soon as I remove her from the local admins group, we get the promt as soon as Notify runs (from Startup). Once I enter the info, it connects fine. If she logs off & back on to the domain, she can still connect; it's only when she reboots that the settings are "lost".

why is this doing this? None of our other users are local admins, and they don't get this prompt. What do I have to do to make GW remember the server address?

TIA for any suggestions.

FYI, the error she gets is "Unable to connect to the TCP/IP address

it should write this to the registry

two things worry me though and you need to expand

firstly it's xp - what a pile of sh**

secondly - domain - is this in a ms domain - if so is the user getting a local account on box or a domain account
