Installing monitor driver on Windows 7

I am trying to install a driver on a Dell computer running a Dell monitor on Windows 7.  The instructions state that after downloading and extracting the files I should hit the start button and click Run.  I do not see the run button on Windows 7.  How do I get the installation to launch?  Thanks

I figured out how to customize the start button to add the run function to the start menu on Windows 7, however, I still cannot get the driver to launch.  Any suggestions?
