One user on domain can't change display 1

[kampspropane]

We are in the process of changing all of our computers to Windows XP Pro and have come across a problem on one computer.

When we log in as 1 user (set as Administrator) under the domain, the user does not have access to change the display settings (this is as far as we got. No idea if this is the only problem). If we log in as a different user that is not set as Administrator, they can change whatever they want.

Since we are new to the world of Windows XP, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What exactly is the error message the Administrator receives when they try to change Display Properties? Have you tried both through the Control Panel, Display as well as right-clicking the Desktop, Properties, Settings?

I have tried both ways of changing the display settings. When I right click on the desktop nothing happens. If I try to open up the desktop settings in the control panel I get the message "Your system Administrator has disabled the display control panel".

My guess then would be a corrupt profile.

Thanks for the info. I did neglect to mention the administrator has reloaded XP on this machine thinking that might help. It had the same results.

We got it! Thank you so much for your help. It was a corrupt profile on the server. It is working great now!
