Access Control

[thugpoet22]

My family just recently got a new computer with Windows XP on it, and I set one account to to Admin and the other to have Limited access. The problem is when my sister tries to save her Sims game from the account with Limited access it give her an error message. When my mother tries to open a game of Mahjong on the same accont it hangs, but everything works fine from the admin acccount. What could be causin that to happen and how could I correct this.

Some programs require more rights than the user has. I consider this to be a fault when admin access is required for a program to run when it isn't something to do with system maintenance.

So is there anyway to allow the limited access account enough access to system files without giving them full control to the system so that they can run there programs???
