I recently made a separate account on Windows XP. My account is the computer administrator, the new account I made limited. My ex-girlfriend needs her First Class client to work, but I cant get it to work on her account. Help?

I don't know the program but this will at least serve as a bump.
"Run as administrator" (right click on the executable) can be a way to work around this if the lack of admin rights is the issue.
However, it's not clear what you mean by "can't get it to work", so I'm not confident this will be of any use. Most programs can be installed by the administrator and then used by limited accounts, and any profile-specific configuration should not require admin rights.

On a home setup, you should generally run all of the accounts as administrator. It just isn't robust enough to worry about all of the rights management --- and some software will never work.
Unless you're particularly savy and have a lot of free time. But then, you probably wouldn't have asked to begin with. . . .
