Hi, I made a huge mistake when I uninstalled my driver from my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop. I was using my laptop until all of a sudden, the blue screen of death popped up on my screen and restarted my laptop unexpectedly. Its happened many times until I searched in on YouTube "How to remove the blue screen of death" Some guy showed me that you needed to uninstall the current driver I had because supposedly "It will refresh your laptop" So I uninstalled my driver... And now I turned my HD screen into a blurry Windows 1999 looking screen... I currently had the Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Family Chipset driver before. I know it's still possible on getting that same driver back. So I downloaded the same driver from 4shared.com and extracted the file. I'm left with a file filled with the right things the driver has. I made a shortcut for that file so that I can run it as administrator. (Now here comes the struggling part...) I right clicked on the shortcut, clicked on advanced. BOOM the option to run it as admin is greyed out... And I'm using an administrator account. I turned UAC on and reboot it and it's greyed out. I turned UAC off, went to cmd while running it as admin, typed in the net user admin yes activate, signed off and on and turned the UAC back on, still greyed out. I really need major help on this, it's been blurred for almost a month and I need to know how to run that driver file shortcut as administrator so I can have my screen back to HD and my games running on 60 fps. Hope I get answers for this... Thanks in advanced...

If you are on an admin account, you do not need to use the Run As command.

First, what driver are you talking about, there are many. I'm guessing the video driver.
Don't download the drivers from any 3rd party sites, get it directly from the laptop vendor.
After you do that, don't create a shortcut to the file, just run the file itself. You can right-click on the file and run that as the administrator if you need to for some reason, although on an admin account you can just run it normally.

As to why it's greyed out, read the posts here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/why-is-run-this-program-as-an-administrator-grey/ac0cb2ed-4bbd-4ee4-a442-e64b3d24d798 it's part of how you set UAC settings.

It's okay man, I just bought an Windows 8 laptop just yesterday. :) I'm probably just going to keep the blurry 1999 looking Windows 7 laptop on my closet though. By the way it was the graphics driver that I accidentally uninstalled. But I have no worries since I finally saved enough money for a newer laptop, I couldn't take handling the suffering against my Windows 7 laptop. Thanks for answering back though man. :)
