Intel PROSet/Wireless problem with limited user

Question

I have a Dell Latitude D620. Yesterday (13/09/06) I browsed through all the software updates available and among others installed a new version of the Intel PROSet/Wireless software (version 10.5.0.0). Since then whenever I logon to my laptop (Windows XP SP2) with a limited user account PROSet/Wirelss exits with the message: Error loading plugins. Everything works fine as administrator.
Any ideas on how to get round the problem would be appreciated.

I haven't used ProSet in sometime but I believe that there maybe an option to have it connect before a user logs into windows.

Alternatively there should be a way to run the program with admin rights from the limited user account -- at least, I think this is possible.

You can let windows XP manage the wireless adapter and it should be just fine since its SP2.

Thanks for the hints. I fixed the problem by deinstalling PROSet, rebooting, reinstalling PROSet and then using it for the first time as a limited user. Now it is back to its original behaviour and working fine. I also installed it with all options, including the one to connect before a usr logs in, but I don't think I am using that feature.
