SL installation is not working ,...message pops up and says ,this machine may not have CPU WITH SSE2 ,WHICH IS REQUIRED TO RUN SECOND LIFE ........ someone please help

How old is your computer?  SSE2 was introduced in 2001.........it's 10 year old technology.

CPUs supporting SSE2

• AMD K8-based CPUs (Athlon 64, Sempron 64, Turion 64, etc.)
• AMD Phenom CPUs
• IntelNetBurst-based CPUs (Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron, Celeron D, etc.)
• IntelPentium M and Celeron M
• Intel Core family (including Intel Core 2, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7)
• IntelAtom
• TransmetaEfficeon
• VIAC7
• VIANano

[edit] Notable IA-32 CPUs not supporting SSE2

SSE2 is an extension of the IA-32 architecture. Therefore any architecture that does not support IA-32 does not support SSE2. x86-64 CPUs all implement IA-32. All known x86-64 CPUs also implement SSE2.[citation needed] Since IA-32 predates SSE2, early IA-32 CPUs did not implement it. SSE2 and the other SIMD instruction sets were intended primarily to improve CPU support for realtime graphics, notably gaming. A CPU that is not marketed for this purpose or that has an alternative SIMD instruction set has no need for SSE2.

The following CPUs implemented IA-32 after SSE2 was developed, but did not implement SSE2:

• AMD CPUs prior to Athlon 64, including all Socket A-based CPUs
• Intel CPUs prior to Pentium 4
• VIA C3
• Transmeta Crusoe
