Silverlight won't install

04-18-2009 3:59 PM |

 I use Netflix but I can't get Silverlight to install.  I kept getting a message saying that my AMD processor doesn't support some kind of architexture or something.   I have an AMD Athlon chip that operates at 1.33 ghz    It even installed with a Duron chip of lesser strength, so I don't buy the excuse.  Anybody got clues?

 I am having the same problem and I have a 1.2 Ghz AMD Athalon chip, 512 MB RAM, and 300 GB HD space.  I do not know if anyone can help both of us.

 I don't get what SSE architechture is?  Why would an AMD Duron chip of lesser caliber and strength be able to support Silverlight when an AMD Athlon can't ?  Are there any work arounds?  Updating the drivers for the chip doesn't seem to help.  I am not paralyzed by this because I have 5 other computers running AMD Athlon XP , AMD Sempron, AMD Duron and one Intel P-4  all with no problems.   The Operating system says I need it, but it won't install.  Otherwise I have no problems at all out the computer with that chip.  Is it a Compaq problem? Does anybody know?

 I'm going to discuss it at the AMD site too.
