Computer geeks... need help, please

[firemalt 10]

I purchased a game yesterday, and after I installed it on my 6 year old laptop(i know, i know... laugh it up), it said that it needed a "SSE instruction set" to run game?

What is this, and can I get one free from somewhere on the web?

Thanks for any help or suggestions...

Try these instructions.  http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329332

From my understanding it is not a software or driver type issue.. The Processor itself has to support the SSE Instructions in order to run the program,

The processor is an AMD Athlon XP, again I think it was made in 2002(I bought it used from a friend, cheap).

Download this http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002374/src/download.html and put it in its own folder, uncompress it then run wcpuid.exe and it will tell you if your processor supports SSE

You're wasting your time. This kind of error usually means your hardware is too old.

Yeah... I played a few online games to relax and get my stress level down from time to time.

Just bought a game called Team Fortress 2, funny as hell. My favorite right now is Call of Duty 4. FEAR was a good game... kinda freaky. I played a game called America's Army for years... it's a free game that you can download, designed by the US Army, and it's a damn good game!

Latest addiction: Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 on Wii.  Before that ... Mario Kart ... Smooth Moves ... I really ought to do the Wii Fit though, although I swear I break a sweat playing another of those games. Hahahaha.
