More information -
when I try and run the file in the Terminal I type in.

sh /home/hawkjnr/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run

When i push enter it says :

Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver for Linux-x86 185.18.14 ............................................................................... etc...

Then a message pops up telling me this process must be carried out in Root.
and tells me - (permission denied); disabling logging.

How do i get access to the Root account - I assume it is the Admin Account.

Thank you for the help.
