    Windows XP Pro SP2 forgetting

    hey, I've just installed Windows XP Pro SP2, and everytime I log in it forgets my settings.

    For example, I use the quick launch bar, and that disappears everytime i start windows, also, each time I turn the PC on, I have to reinstall my network card...

    I am not using the administrator account, but the user I am using, does have admin rights.

    any ideas?

    thanks

    Is this XPproSP2 on a standalone workstation, or on a network talking to a Domain Controller with roaming profiles activated?

    Could be a number of things, the most common of which is that a GPO has enforced "don't save settings at exit". Your profile type is set to mandatory?

    Can you give some more info?

    thanks for reply mr

    I sorted it in the end, just added a new account, no big deal at all because it was a brand new install.

    thanks again
