UPdate monitor driver problem

I am trying to update a monitor driver and I am getting Access denied.
Drivers are in the folder I have downloaded from LG web site and saved on my
d drive. What am I missing here?

Thanks

To what group does the user account with which you logged in belong? You
must be an administrator to install drivers. Do any errors show up in the
event logs? Which version of Vista do you have? If you can, log in as the
"super" Administrator and give it a try.

right-click on the file, then, "Run as Administrator"
