Requires Elevation - What does that mean and what do I do?

The same principles apply to many modern distributions of Linux - certain programs require a higher level of privileges to run, so they prompt for a password first.

I ran into the samething while downloading a software. It seems there are multiple ways around the Vista security. The one that worked for me was downloading the files directly from the folder itself without a "third party" involved. I did not have alter any administrative privelages.
