Permission to install .dll file? Where do I do that?

I have been running RC1 for 4 days now and overall, really like it. One
problem that I have run in to, however, is getting WinX DVD Ripper to run. I
get an error message about a .dll file missing so downloaded the file but
when I went to save it in my windows/system directory, it won't save as it
says it must have administrator permission. Well I am the administrator and
I want anything that I want to save to just save and shut up about it, lol!
It saved to my user/admin file instead.

Do any of you know where I can set those permissions?

Thanks in advance!

Don't save it in your system directory, save it to your WinX program
directory, in the same folder as the program's exe file. Applications will
always check in their own directory for dll files first before going to the
system directory. This is also good because there is no risk of overwriting
a different version in the system directory.
