SSE2 Instruction Set

Post by Lee Bath »

When I tried to install Photoshop Premiere Elements 2.0 I got a message saying Premiere Elements 2.0 requires a CPU that supports the SSE2 Instruction Set and it will not install. I can't find anyone that has heard of this.
I have an AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1.50GHz. I have everything that system requirements asks for except SSE2 Instruction Set.
Can anyone help. Thank you

Lee, if you take a look at the system requirements again, you will find that you have to upgrade your processor (probably motherboard, processor, maybe memory too).

That instruction set, (I think) means you have to get a Pentium 4 or AMD 64-bit processor.

Lee:

Here's a link to a table of cpu's and it states that the SSE2 instruction set is supported in an amd4 cpu. It looks like a cpu problem.
