Rights problem

I have an Windows 2003 DC with a bunch of clients. Several clients use the same domain user login. A "desktop" client (XPProSP2) runs a certain application just fine. A "tablet" PC (XP Tablet SP2) won't run as "user" but will run as "administrator". I've set full access for the user for the C drive, and have allowed the user to install drivers (the application involves a USB device). The vendor is puzzled and "will get back to me" (45 days, so far). As a last resort, I added "Administrators" into the "Member of" tab in the Active Directory Users and Computers panel for the user in question, and it still doesn't work. The user can't do other administrative tasks such as opening the Device Manager or Local Security Policies either, so I must be missing something elementary. I only upgraded to a DC because oour main s/w vendor refused to support a non-DC environment, and I've been swimming ever since !
