ok, i jsut got my amd64 and ending up having to format, whih was no big deal, but I can't seem to get the SSE to work, i did it exactly like mike(lvs) showed me and wen to the log file to check it, but i can't seem to find it anywhere(like at the bottom). What is the deal with that? and why would my new processor make windows recover from a serios error, and not list y? i have a uh legal copy of xp but i diddn't want to send the error report. I HATE FORMATING!, but whats done is done, so any suggestions on the -forceSSE?

Windows always says that. They'll tell you that you recovered from an error without mentioning what the error was. Usually happens when drivers go haywire. Anyways, are you using F@H 4.00? If so, the target should look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Folding@Home\winFAH.exe" -forceSSE

And you should see this at the beginning of the log:

Arguments: -forceSSE

Warning:
By using the -forceSSE flag, you are overriding program
safeguards that monitor the stability of SSE
instructions on your system. If you did not intend
to do this, please restart the program without
-forceSSE. If work units are not completing fully,
then please discontinue use of the flag.

[07:30:09] Extra SSE boost OK.

OK, OK OK. When I showed him the way to do it last night....By the way he recently Purchased an Athlon 3000+, and a MSI K8T Neo. Put it together last night. He is going down the High road. Off the junk road. The Intel road. But, from What I saw his system needed refomatting. BAD. So, by reformatting he can start anew. But, when I showed him how to do it last night, with -forceSSE flag on it...It worked perfectly. Did everything that it is supposed to do. He has version 4.00. And, I think he is just looking in the wrong place. Aint that right xKharn?? He'll get it. I havent heard of Athlon 64's messing up on SSE, so, I just think he is looking in the wrong place. OK...heres what you do Xkharn..

Lower right, in the tollbar, the little F@H symbol, right click it....Go to "Status", and select Log File...It should tell you then if its using SSE boost. Just like Ard put in his post. It did it last night. But, close F@H, put the flag in, and then restart it, and about a minute later, open the log file, and it will tell you "Extra SSE Boost OK".
