Yes you can - but some people have reported problems.
Most of the problems are overcome if
a) you have the latest drivers for indeo installed
b) before you install you ensure that the minimum possible number of background processes are running

This is correct. I had to install the latest drivers from Indeo and delete a file from one of my files. Mercator was kind enough to post a link for me to another board  which explains how to do it. It's quite painless. The link is:

I believe that the directional reverse of your flushing toilet water Down Under is a positive influence upon Windoze. After all, Windows does remind me of something that should be flushed 
BTW Hydey, loved your singing in the Off Topic board. Has Mark contacted you yet about selling your album in the store?

Go and explain that to your Dad...
The SGs seriously sloshed (but not chundering - that's a nasty predilection of the penal colonies...)
p.s. Hey- Hydey - why don't you join in our Priestess in Space Succession Game?

If that was intended for me I do not understand it. Sorry.

What exactly is chundering? It doesn't sound good, whatever it is, but my curiousity has been piqued.

Hi el Civ - no the lubricated post above was directed at Hydey (son of AH) and 'chundering' is graphic australian slang for vomitting - there are many, MANY graphic australian slang terms for vomitting ...

Is "Yahoo Serious" Aussie slang for vomiting as well? If not it should be. In the States we have heave, puke, ralph, drive the porcelain bus, the technicolor yawn, retch, yak and more that I cannot remember. I must say that when someone speaks of having "yakked" I find it amusing, however saying, "I chundered last night" would be even funnier. Oh, I should stay on topic so I am not spamming.....hmmm.
I upgraded to Windows 2000 because Win 98 caused my computer to chunder.

El Civ - Win 2K cannot be seriously considered an upgrade from 98SE the next stable platform after that has to be XP Pro ...

If you had dealt with my Win 98, which had become as stable as Hitler, then you too would consider 2000 to be an upgrade. Besides, until I can find someone willing to burn XP pro onto disc and give it to me, as was the case with 2000, I will remain with the OS I have. Actually I could get an XP pro disc easily enough but don't want to bother with it. Also, from what my brother explained to me (he works for IBM), 2000 is a more stable platform than 95/98/ME due to program coding, or some such thing. If I understand it NT/2000 are coded differently than the others and XP is coded differently from all the rest. As for me, I remain a technological idiot.
