I am the administrator of my PC, yet when I attempt to
install new drivers for my Geforce 4 I will get "Access
is Denied" errors at the end of the process. Nothing is
overclocked or disturbed. XP Home won't take anything
other than the default XP drivers. HELP!

SPECS:

P4 2Ghz Processor (not celeron)
Intel Motherboard
512mb RAM
80Gb HD
Geforce 4 Ti 4400 128mb (about a year old)
Windows XP Home

Have you tried installing the video drivers in "safe mode"?
