I'm trying to install updated drivers for my mouse and keyboard from HP. The
program tells me that I need to run it as admin. I do a right click on the
program and tell Vista to install as admin but still get the same message.
How can I install the program? I am admin and the only person that is able
to login to the computer. Thanks.

Add "Take Ownership" to right-click menu in Vista

Try setting the Install.exe (Properties dialog) to XP Compatibility mode.
