Trying to run it gives this error.

The exception Illegal Instruction
An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction.
(0xc00001d) occurred in the application at location 0x009c2560

If this helps am using AMD Duron 1.4Ghz with W2000 sp3.

I also tried to run it with my standard Firefox still running. Perhaps the error won't come up if I close it before.

This build is optimized using following flags: G7/SSE2/O2. This optimized build is designed for Pentium processors not Athlon processors. This is why you are getting the illegal instruction error.

Namely, this build is optimized using SSE2 instructions, and not all processors support them.

The Pentium 4 supports SSE2.

Maybe I'll build with only SSE (Which the athlon supports, I think) sometime, if you guys want it.

No major fixes today, so I'm not making a seperate post.

If you absolutely must get the latest build for some reason, look in:
