Simply open you applications folder, right-click on safari and click "get info." Click the "Open in 32-bit mode" and your off!
Nawcom said the problem has something to do with sse2 emulation with AMDs regarding h264 libs. That probably looks ridiculous to anyone in here that knows what it means, but I unfortunately don't. I thought I'd post this work around in case someone else was having trouble with this issue. If I can't contribute with code, I might as well contribute as a messenger (if even a terrible one at that)!  |
Its SSSE3 extensions, no SSE2 XD, which aren't present in actual AMD cpus, but they will be on future AMD cpus (Bulldozer and Bobcat cores)
SSSE3 its used only in 64 bits, so that explains the fix of running programs in 32 bit mode.
To bring SSSE3 to actual processors is only by an "emulator", like SSE3 emulation on SSE2 cpus, but SSSE3 emu isn't yet created XD.

A Question....
It's a good idea to install 10.7 Lion??? I'm downloading it xdd
System- MoBo: MSI K9N2GM-FD, Chipset GeForce 8200 (MCP78)
- CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @3,02 Ghz
- RAM: Kingston 2GB DDR2 800Mhz + Corsair 2GB DDR2 800Mhz @747Mhz
- VGA: EVGA 9800GT SSC
- HDD: 300GB WD SATAII
- Optical Drive: Sony SATA 24X
- OS: Vanilla Mac OS X Server 10.6.0 + Nawcom ModCD, upgraded to 10.6.8 and Windows 7 x64.
Everything works, except sleep, so system isn't Energy Star compilant  .
