    Hello All,

    On my new Athlon based computer, I just installed SW and SP2.1, then tried
    to install the SWX and got this message:

    An AMD K6 processor has been detected on this computer.

    A patch is available BLAH AMD BLAH BLAH Solidworks.

    To get this patch, please go to:
    http://www.and.com/products/cpg/k623d/solidworks

    Well the address didn't work, but I did find the patch. there are two one
    for 95, 98 etc., and one for NT, 2000.
    But XP isn't mentioned, so should I conclude that A) I don't need it, and
    stop worrying, or B) Download and install the NT/2000 patch?

    TIA,
    Muggs

    Ignore the message. It only pertains to K6 or older AMD CPUs. They've
    never updated the install program to identify the difference between the
    older CPUs and the newer Athlons.
