could anyone tell me how to run two clients of the same program, one
easy example is a game i play, i have two accounts and would like to
log both in but when i start one up and log in i click on the icon
again, and it starts up but instead of going to the sign in it sees
the first client running and thinks that that counts and doesnt start
up another one, how can i fix this?

Not easily. Those programs are designed to launch, and if they find
another copy running they will simply tell that copy to un-minimize/raise
to the front and exit themselves.

This cannot be fixed, because the program has logic in it that looks to see
if the program is already running. If the program starts and see that it's
already running, then it will terminate itself. Some programs don't allow
themselves to be started more than one time due to program corruption of
resources along with other factors, when running multiple occurrences of
the program.
