Oracle-L: 9i Client permission required on WinXP

We've recently upgraded many client machines to WinXP and found that the only way we can get the 9i client to connect to the server is if the windows user account is an administrator on the client machine. We've tried giving full access to the c:\oracle and c:\program files\oracle directories to the windows user, also the various references found in the windows registry, but this doesn't work. Only if the user is a local administrator can they connect.

Each time we try to get a connection with a restricted user we get

ORA-01019 unable to allocate memory in the user side - But we've also seen errors relating to NLS_LANG.

Does anyone know which permissions to set on which Oracle directories / registry keys / whatever, to allow a restricted windows user to connect to Oracle (or is there more to it than this)?

Thanks in advance.
