  Hi,
  Click once on the application, then “get info” (or “command”+I), and make sure in the ownership and permission section it is a s follows:
  You can: Read & Write
  Owner:system
  Access:Read & Write
  Group: admin
  Access:Read and Write
  Others: Read & Write.

  If your settings are different, try clicking the unlock icon and changing to these settings.
  You might be prompted for your password , when making changes to these settings.
  Hopefully this will help.
  Take care.
  Adi

  You might also try using the Disk Utility in your Utilities folder (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) to repair file permissions.
