LAC? Not sure what this is. I would go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools (in 'classic view' - not sure what the equivalent is in 'XP' view), then 'Computer Management', 'Local Users and Groups', right-click on 'Users' and select 'New User'. Enter the details. Having created a new user, open 'Users', and you will see the new user in the right-hand pane. Double-click the new user, select 'member of', and add 'Administrators'.
Log off then log on as the new user. Open IE - you'll probably get the 'define connection' wizard. Select 'connect via LAN' and 'N' to 'create e-mail account now'. You should now be able to connect OK.
(There is a 'simpler' User Accounts' facility in Control Panel, but I'm not sure that will work if the laptop is set to be a domain member, as it probably is if used at work).
