I just did a clean install of XP Home and am trying to get admin
access to programs from a user account using RunAs, both from the
dialog and the command line. I am denied access in all cases. Is there
something that needs to be done to enable this? Someone know a reason
this might be?

Are you trying to access the programs from a network, perhaps? That
could fail because the credentials needed for the share and the program
are different.

The only other thing that occurs to me is to check whether you're giving
the admin account name in the correct format. Lots of examples here:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/prodd...

It's not connected to a network, other than the Internet. I omitted
the computer name, I'll try that.

Does the Administrator account have a password?
