Hi everyone!

I just got a DELL Dimension 2400 and love it. It has been a long
time since I have used my QX3 and I decided to dust it off
(literally) and give it a try with my new computer.

I think the greatest feature of the QX3 is the time-lapse "movies".
They are just great.

As many of you already know, the original QX3 (and included
software) will not work with Windows 2000 or XP. I visited the
Intel web site and found the following:

http://www.intel.com/support/intelplay/qx3/updateinfo.htm

This is software and instructions to use the older QX3 on Windows
2000 or XP. After downloading it, I followed the instructions and
installed the software. After re-booting, I plugged-in the QX3
(thank you DELL for the up-front USB connectors) and it worked great!

The website referenced above has all the instructions for successful
installation, but here are the highlights.

System requirements for this download are:

o Broadband Internet Connection (Highly recommended due to
download's large filesize of 94MB)

o 450 MB of free hard disk space to save and install this download
(250MB will be freed after installation)

o USB enabled computer

o Microsoft Windows* 2000 or Windows* XP

o 200 Mhz Intel® Pentium® or Celeron™ processor or faster

o Minimum 32 MB RAM

o Quad speed (4x) or faster CD-Rom drive

o SVGA 800 x 600 video display resolution @ 16 bit color

o 16 bit Windows-compatible sound device

o Microsoft DirectX* 8.0 or higher (Customers with Windows* 2000
can download the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft's web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/

o Customers with Windows XP do not need to update DirectX. Windows
XP already includes DirectX 8.1)

o Standard keyboard and mouse
