I'm trying to copy an app into the Applications folder and it is telling me I can't, because "Applications" could not be modified. Any idea what that is about? I've been copying apps in there since I got the machine. I've always been logged in as the same user.

Odd that that would happen out of the blue like that. A quick fix is to open the ever-so-dreaded Terminal. It's a very simple, painless, guaranteed not to cause problems command. Type the following:

<font face = "courier">sudo chmod 775 /Applications</font>

And enter your password when asked. That should give you write access... assuming nothing happened to the group association with that directory. If it doesn't work then post here again. We'll figure it out. There is only one other, painless step, if this one doesn't fix it. (post here anyway, so we know if it did, or didn't work).

That worked.

The only thing I can think of is that I ran the installation for this VNC server, which required me to be root. The program doesn't even come close to working. Should have read that part!
