Having trouble gaining administrator permission/s to Windows/System 32 for a corrupted file replacement.?

Upon startup, I am having an issue which includes the error [Do Open Pipestream/scrrun.dll]. Doing some basic research this morning, I've discovered that the scripting is corrupted and have downloaded a new "scrrun" to replace the existing one. However, I am having trouble moving the file to the folder due to administrator privileges (Vista is annoying). I have tried opening Properties/Security for the SYstem32 folder and modifying the priveledges allowed by users to no avail and with the repeated message "Access Denied" (even though I am logged as the administrator of the computer). How can I setup the folder to allow myself access to replace a corrupted file inside System 32? As I said, when attempting to change securities measures within it to allow file modification, I get a constant, irritating message reporting "Access Denied". I'm all out of ideas here. Help!

1. Try rebooting into safe moe, signing on as administrator and moving the files. That's works in XP. I'm still leary of trying Vista.


2. Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right-Click CMD and run as Administrator.

   use the copy command to replace the file

   COPY letter:\path\file letter:\path\destination

   or

   right-click the scrrun.dll and select copy open notepad from the Administrator cmd > select File > Open > browse to the System 32 dir > right-click and paste.
