Sure. All that means is that the drivers have not yet been certified by Microsoft. In some cases, driver versions come out so fast, that there's no way MS can keep up. Some hardware may never get certified drivers, and at last report, MS is about a year behind, which means that sometime soon they may certify an updated driver for the GeForce 2

I always continue. That warning means there might be some problems with the drivers, but when I have done that in the past (including installing new nVidia drivers) nothing bad has ever happened.

If the mfgr says its driver is for XP, go ahead and install it. Forget about M$ warnings.
