Solved how to update my video driver ?

[t-4-2]

Dell inspiron 1420

I went to Dell web site, Drivers and Download page.
Found one video driver to be downloaded.

Please give me the detail as to how to download the video driver.
This is what I had tried...........
I clicked the download button > create a folder for the driver R179345.exe in Documents > saved it to the folder > open the file and run it > that is where I began running into roadblock.... please see screenshots which explain the sequence till I could not continue any further.

I clicked OK. Then ....

I clicked Yes. Then ....

I didn't know what to do next.

Was I doing it all wrong ?

Thank you.

You probably ca n't write to the disk.

The way around it is right click and use extract to the same folder your in/downloaed the exe in.

The run the setup in the new folder.

Did you make the folder before downloading?
That is what the first sentence sounds like.

I just download stuff to the desktop.
Install it and then move it or delete it.

You gave me the right idea.
I went back to the window which asked me to select the folder to unzip > I navigated to and selected the folder I created in Documents > extract proceeded without issue > then I opened the folder > located and ran the Setup.exe > done.

Thank you for the tip.

Hello

I am sorry I was going to ask the same thing as jp07764, but I am sure that there must be another way to do this, I will jump into surffing and see if I can find something that you might be able to use...

Yes he madee a folder first, but it was in "My Documents"

The Dell driver wasn't a program per say, but a self extracting/self running zip file.

The driver file extracts itself to a predetermined folder... Notice it was c:\dell\drivers\....

It was most likely a odd write error.

T could be a uac or admin issue on the Dell folder..
