Windows XP not connecting to WPA-2

I've had to implement wpa-2 for our wireless due to people giving out the wep keys.If there are other solutions ,I would be more than happy to entertain them. First off, the windows 7 machines have no problem authenticating.It' s the XP machines that sometimes will not connect or will never connect. I've had 2 exact machines (laptops) with XP and 1 will connect and the other will not. A work around was to UN-join the laptop from the domain and then re-join it and it would connect (authenticate).This however, did not last and the machine would fail to authenticate eventually.Some machines would have to be Un-joined and RE-joined to the domain several times and they finally would authenticate.

I have 2 identical Laptops , both patched, up to date, drivers and all. one connects, the other does not. However, they both will connect to a wep or unsecured network. If I was to un-join/rejoin to the domain, the laptop that doesn't connect will finally connect. Strange, but it will not stay that way
