Windows CE 3.0 May Not Detect an MMX-Capable Processor (302759)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder 3.0
This article was previously published under Q302759 SYMPTOMS
When you use a device that is running Windows CE 3.0, the device may not detect an MMX-compatible processor.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the algorithm that is used to detect MMX-capable processors does not properly identify GEODE processors as MMX capable. The detection code has been changed in the fix that is listed in this article to attempt an MMX operation and catch the exception. If no exception occurs, the processor is assumed to be MMX capable.
