[SSE2]

SSE2 is certainly not in every CPU made since 2003.

I have a Compaq Presario sr1303wm (bought in 2005).

OS: WinXP 32-bit (meets recommended)
CPU: AMD Sempron 3000+, 2GHz (released in 2004, no sse2) (exceeds recommended, which doesn't mention SSE2 until you actually try to install it)
Memory: 2 GB (exceeds recommended)
Video: 1280x1024, ATI 9600XT (exceeds recommended)

The main viewer worked last year, but coming back to it I need to run a third party viewer? Yay, another set of controls to learn. Or maybe I'll just punt secondlife and do something else with my time.

 

[Application error oxc000001d]

I guess I am not going to be joing you all in the Second Life universe.  Whenever I try to run SL, I get the following message:

"The application failed to initialize properly (oxc000001d). Click on OK to terminate the application.”

I have tried uninstalling, clearing my cache, cookies, etc, and reinstalling.   I have tried uninstalling, clearing the "user/application data/secondlife" folder, renaming said folder as indicated, rebooting, and reinstalling.  I have tried uninstalling, removing said folder, removing anything I could find that might be linked to SL, rebooting, reintstalling, and rebooting again.  All without success. 

I am still getting the exact same error message. 

Running Windows XP, with all system requiments/recommended parameters for SL met or exceeded.

And I have already spent WAY more time on this than it deserves....
