Hiya, something wrong with computer?

I have Windows XP with different accounts. My account was a limited one, so we couldn't download Yahoo Messenger. We tried going on to the Administrator's account to change our account into the administrators and it worked. When we tried to change it back into a limited account and change the other account back into the administrator, it said permission denied. How come?

    You must do it in the proper order! You must always have at least one administrator account.

    why did you change the admin account to limited? you need to change the one which is now limited back to admin first, then change the other one back to limited after. WindowsXP will not let you not have Zero Admin accounts at any time - the way you were doing it was creating that situation. If you did end up with no admin accounts you'd never be able to install any software without a reinstall.
