Thanks but where is XP420A03.EXE ... I've searched, it  doesn't seem to be anywhere !

If you receive an Access Denied error while running BIOS update, XP420A03.EXE may not be running as an Administrator. To run XP420A03.EXE as an administrator, Right Click on XP420A03.EXE and click Run as Administrator.

Thanks Helmec    All's well  I  'saved'  and then progressed.  Seems strange though that they make  'open' an option, just to confuse us oldens !

This happened to me also, but I just right clicked 'Run as Administrator.'
