Hi, Star,

According to what I understand, with Vista OS, downloads have to be run as
administrator for security purposes.

Yes, under Vista, even if you are logged in as Administrator, any
applications you launch will run with lower rights than Administrator, as
protection against malicious viruses/trojans. So do exactly as they say,
right click the icon for the application, and select "Run As" Administrator.
