*note when you type that code into the terminal is says "error super user privilege required"

Well, whenever 'super user' is required, all you need to do is put 'sudo' before the command. So, in this case, 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' (without quotes), then enter password and you're good to go.
Sudo is like an 'instant Admin' for Linux, and prevents logging in as Root to make major changes.
For 7.10, it's best if you use the Point-and-Click if you're new to it. APPLICATIONS>ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. At the top-right corner, select 'All available Applications' and let it reload. Select 'Other' on the left side of the screen, and scroll all the way down. 'Ubuntu Restricted Packages' is the 6th or 7th one up from the bottom. Check the box, then Apply, then OK. It's butter from there
