mutt: I installed XP Home Edition Upgrade from 98SE. Apart from my previous posts, all went well, unlike my attempt with ME! Having said that, if yourself or anyone else reading this is running a web cam based on 98, then XP probably won't accept it, despite what cam sites state. Retailers I have spoken to recently are furious that their stock of good quality PC cams are not suitable to XP, and that consumers (like self!) run out and purchase this new OS "because it was there"...
