Installing new game requires admin privleges to run?

When I try to install a game called,"dream chronicles" an error
message says, Installer This Installer requires admin privleges to run.
Can someone tell me how to do this?
I checked system requirements and it should play.
Unless the error message means system requirements are not being met?
Any responses will be appreciated.
Or perhaps I will need to return the game.
Thank you,
John

HI,

Unless the error message means system requirements are not being met?

It means you must be logged into the Mac's admin account to run the game but the game's requirement go no higher then 10.5. According to your profile, you are running 10.6.

Thank you, Carolyn.
I figured that if it went to 10.5, it should work.
I appreciate your quick return.
I also just downloaded a game from aspyr/PREY.
And it works great.
Can you tell me some parameters I should be looking for
when purchasing games?
Thanks again,
John
