I have seen this question posted many times and no
response yet from a knowledgeable person at MS... you
can't start the service on XP Home without getting
the "user is not a member of OLAP Administrator's group"
error"... but XP Home provides no access to Groups. Is
there a programmatic way to fix this? Is there a fix from
MS? Or is it just not supported on XP Home (which would be
LAME)?

This link details how to fix it, you should download SP3 as well if you
haven't already
