Some of the games I have installed for my children alow them to play from
thier own accounts no problem. Other games will not run correctly from their
accounts and will only run if started from an account with admin privilidges.
Why is this?
Can I do something to stop them bothering me to type my password?

That can be a problem with how the game was coded. Sometimes there's
nothing you can do about it. See this link.
