Default Outlook not remembering password

I just got new computer with XP and installed Office 2000.
I set up my account for Outlook 2000, and it keeps
prompting me for my password, even after I check the box
to 'remember password'. Can you help?

Does this involve something with modifying the registry?
If it does, and I make a mistake, can I use XP's 'System
Restore' feature to undo my mistake??
