XP Problem - Non-Admin users cannot use IE

Expand Post »

Hey guys, first post here...

I recently configured my PC (XP-PRO SP1) to have more than one user, for my roommate. I want him as a Power User or regular User.

I'm doing it so he can't access my documents and whatnot.

I set everything up but when I log in as him, IE6 crashes. It immediately pops up the message box about sending the error to Microsoft. If I change his user profile to administrator, it works fine. Any other user group...nay.

I uninstalled Sygate Firewall thinking that might be it. No deal there. All my settings were system defaults (concerning any local security policies).

Can anyone recommend how to fix this so I can proceed? Thanks!!
