CPU extension SSE2

I recently purchased Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 for my PowerBook, and it will not install because I need "support for CPU extension SSE2". Is there an upgrade I can install, or do I need a newer CPU to run this software? I am not very familiar with it, and nothing came up when I ran a search on the Apple web site.

Adobe says Premiere Pro CS3 will run on Intel CPU:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/systemreqs/
"..Multicore Intel® processor (Adobe® OnLocation™ CS3 is a Windows application that may be used on Macintosh using Boot Camp and Windows, sold separately).."
PowerBook 17" has Power PC CPU, not an Intel one.

Achitecture Not Supported and CPU Extension SSE2 issue. Are there any solutions??

I'm late to the game.
I purchased the CS3 Adobe Master Collection, I get and error that Adobe Premier and Soundbooth wont work with my "architecture".
I thought I had to upgrade to OS10.5 thinking that was the issue.
But now I find that it's not software at all...but Hardware.
The install screen states "Support for CPU extension SSE2" is not met.
And I searched the web for help, and ALL signs point "not being compatible with G5 PPC.
Is this still true? Is there really *nothing* I can do but BUY a new Mac with Intel to run them?
Is Adobe REALLY turning their backs on people without new Intel Macs?
PLEASE tell me there are patches and some work-arounds by now!

If your CPU does not support the command set needed to run the program... it will not run... no patches, since that hardware support is a key part of the software
You see it as Adobe turning away... Adobe (I don't work for them) sees it as a minimum hardware requirement

Adobe Premier Pro asking for CPU extension SSE2???

I installed Adobe Master collection when first released with the exception of Premier Pro.
Now decided to install it. Installation does not start as I get error message that machine does not meet requirements but needs "CPU extension SSE2"
Any ideas what this means??
Thanks

First help us understand your setup:
Mac Pro or G5?
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=108
maybe its the 1MB RAM you have listed?
CS3 is a univeral binary now.
Have you looked on Adobe forum? Google?

That is an error most often seen under Windows. A G5 can't run Windows (or use BootCamp).

Support for CPU extension SSE2 problem, please help

hey guys,
I recently got a PowerBook G4, and I'm trying to install the trial version of PPRO CS3 to give it a test run. And it gives me a message saying "Support for CPU extension SSE2" I read up on this and found out you need an INTEL MAC, which is ridiculous! for those of us with a G4, G5 system.
Does anyone know of any way to bypass this system requirement and still install/run PPROCS3 on a non-intel mac.
Thanks!

Wait... water car idea
Connect to a really LONG extension cord, or use a really BIG battery, to power electrodes to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen
Burn the hydrogen with the oxygen in the engine... but I'm not sure about the net gain of hydrogen burning versus the electricity needed to power the electrodes

Message: Support for CPU extention SSE2

I'm trying to install PPCS3 and I get the message that I need to update "Support for CPU extention SSE2" before I can install. Does anyone have any idea what this is all about? I sure don't. Thanks for any help or info.

More information.

Confused and flustered....

Hello All-
I've got two G5 machines. One is a 1.7 Dual and the other is a 2.0 Dual.
Here's the weirdness I'm getting.
I installed Adobe CS3 Master Collection on the weaker machine along with Motion 2.0 (the 1.7GHz) and have had ZERO problems. I tried installing the same software/disks on the 2.0 GHz machine but I can't get 90% of the software to load or even open. I keep getting a "Support for CPU extension SSE2" error.
I know they are both PPC processors, so hence why I am confused.
It's really a pain in the you-know-what since I spent so much on the machines and software only to find out it will Install on only one because of this issue. Also noticed some other programs (i.e. Handbrake, etc.) won't load because my 'Archtecture isn't supported'. (If it is not supported, why can I get it on one, and not the other...?)
Frustrated, not livid, just curious why this may be an issue.
Reset permissions, PRAM, applied the Combo fix for 10.5.8 twice. No Avail...
I'm clueless, the only other thing I can think of would be a fresh install of Leopard after I backup all my Illustrator, PS and InDesign Files.
Just hoping there is an easier thing to do than spend an hour installing Leopard + updates, then three more hours installing Motion, LightRoom 3, CS3 Master Collection, LibreOffice, Trapcode filters and move all those darn files back, then more updates... Granted, I'm going to upgrade the main OS disk to a 2TB drive and just use the Disk Utility to mirror it over.
Help!, Help Needed!
System 1 has 2.25 GB RAM (Working fine, just slower than all can Imagine) and the other (the one having the strange issue) has 16GB RAM
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Hi Ramon-
Trying to save the reformatting for a last option. I set the system up before with Tiger but that was before I got the software and foolishly upgraded to Leopard rather than doing a clean install.
I checked the setup, Apple Partition Map, HFS+ extended.
Mr. Williams,
I checked all the RAM, all seems to be good. ran the Diag test. I made sure to put them in that order. I ran into that problem with my server.
BDAqua,
It's strange since it works on an earlier version of the G5 series. Same disks and all. Perplexing.
I downloaded the PPC version and saved it to the main drive and I keep getting that error.
X.X
So strange, very very strange. I think Ramon may be on to something. Perhaps it is a faulty install of Leopard and then put CS3 on the other internal drive. It may be the MBR scheme that is causing those apps to confuse the system, but that won't explain why HandBrake et all different apps from loading.
I fear a reload straight from the Leopard disk is in store. (sad face)

Re: CS3 Suite - Unable to install

I am unable to install the CS3 Suite on a Mac PPC running Snow Leopard.
In the installation screen, I am getting the following message: The minimum system requirements listed below are needed in order to run Adobe Encore CS3 and are not met:
Support for CPU Extension SSE2.
This message is repeated for Soundbooth, and Premier
Am I getting this message because the software was originally designed to run on an earlier version of the Mac operating system or is this hardware message?
The machine is a G5 running Mac OS X 10.5.8 with 4GB of memory
I thought the entire CS3 suite would run on a G5...
What is the answer here?

That is a hardware message, which is telling you that the hardware/firmware inside the CPU is missing a required element
Since I don't know anything about a Mac or Mac OS, this "could" have something to do with compatibility with the OS version you have... but I would take it at face value and say your CPU is missing internal commands that are needed for CS3

The raw CPU power (GHz) isn't the most important part.
If you want to run Windows 8 on your PC, here's what it takes:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (...)
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
Graphics card: MicrosoftDirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
(http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements)
Important are the NX bit (No eXecute) which is a security feature to disallow the execution of certain software commands (PAE, a memory address extension, is normally included in NX capable CPU's) and SSE2. SSE2 is a subset of graphical instructions
needed for the Windows 8 display. All newer AMD and Intel processors with AMD64 or Intel64 capability should show those characteristics.

Single Core CPU - REQUIREMENTS

Hi ALL Hope I'm in the right place this is a hard hardware isssue I can't seem to figure. Here's the deal: Old Toshiba Satellite (circa 2006) with Intel® Pentium® M Processor 780 (2M Cache, 2.26 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) with MMX instructions, SSE / Streaming SIMD Extensions, SSE2 / Streaming SIMD and 2 NX / XD / Execute disable bit. For the new guys out there - yeah this is old - it's single core. Remember those? OS win xp pro (32bit) 100% fully patched and with no failed updates. Just waiting to install the MS Skype update. So will this setup run Skype with a webcam and if it will which webcam should I buy?

You can run a webcam with that setup. I would suggest you buy a webcam that is designed to run on a single core. I would suggest getting at most a 720p camera or under [2Mbit video (not photo capture) or below] that is compatible with Windows XP. The higher resolution a camera is capale of, the more likely it will attempt to negotiate ata a higher resolution which will result in more CPU consumption. If you use a 720p camera and it determines to engage the higher resolution, don't be surprised if your CPU resources hit as high as 80% while on a call. Then again, it might not try and you could be fine even with a high-end camera. I would personally recommend getting a big brand name camera like a Microsoft Lifecam or Logitech series (I use both). Getting a generic brand might work great on your computer as well but it may work too great providing too low a quality that is acceptable to you or others with no room for improvement in the hardware.

CPU requirement for Premiere Elements 10?

Hi there,
Unfortunately, I think I know the answer to this already, but thought I'd toss this out there to see if anyone has gotten it to work.
On a Windows XP sp3 PC with a 1.86ghz Core2 6300 CPU with 2gb RAM, I'm unable to install Adobe Premiere Elements 10. When I run setup.exe I get "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor."
The system requirements for Premiere Elements 10 do list a 2ghz CPU with SSe2 support. The Core2 6300 does support SSe2, but runs at 1.86ghz not 2ghz.
Just haven't seen a program actually refuse to install based on CPU speed before. Guess I've been lucky. But can anyone confirm that the installer actually won't install on a slower processor speed. Not sure what else the error could be than this.
Thanks in advance,
Sir_timbit

I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?

How to find the max data transfer rate(disk speed) supported by mobo?

I just checked my BIOS and my current setting is set at IDE although it also mentions that the default should be AHCI. Currently I have a dual boot of Windows 7 (need it for Tax software) and Arch
So I guess, when I get the new HDD, I will first set it to AHCI and then install the OSes on it. See if NCQ helps any, and if not I will turn it back and re-install (if I have to). I am planning to have Windows only in virtualbox in the new drive.
Anyhoo, while I was in the BIOS I found two things which I had questions about :
1) Under Onboard Devices --> Integrated NIC , my setting is currently set at "On w/PXE" and it says the default should be just "On". Would it be ok to change it back to On since its a single machine and its not booting an OS on any server. I just don't want to have to re-install anything now since I will be doing that in the new HDD.
2) How would I know whether my BIOS would support a 64 bit OS in Virtualbox? I checked some setting under Virtualization, but they weren't very clear.
I will edit this post and let you know exactly what settings were present under the Virtualization sub-section.

If it's not responding to the physical button, try opening "My Computer," right-clicking on the disc drive, and selecting "Eject." If that still doesn't work, ensure that there really is a disc in the drive, and if there is, contact customer support at (800) 457-7777.

Hyper-V not installing on Windows 8.1

Hi
I can't activate the Hyper-V feature of Windows 8.1. Whenever I enable the feature all goes well, I reboot when prompted. But after the reboot Hyper-V is not installed - it's shown as not installed in "Turn Windows feature on and off".
The Windows Setup log has an information event (ID 11) "Update Microsoft-Hyper-V of package Microsoft-Hyper-V-ClientEdition-Package failed to be turned on. Status: 0x800f0922."
I tried DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, but that made difference.
I also tried activating the feature through DISM, but no joy.
Finally, I tried changing my SSD to a spare I had, and doing a fresh Windows 8.1 install on the new SSD, but Hyper-V still doesn't install.
I have a i7 CPU, and virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
Roy

[SOLVED] Unable to boot after kernel 3.9.2

After update to 3.9.2, I was unable to boot. After bios screen I see a black screen with only a white cursor and it hangs forever.
I was able to boot from a usb live image, mount my fs, arch-chroot and downgrade to 3.8.11, then it all worked.
I am using gummiboot with EFI, from SSD drive.
