I click on the "check for updates" and it says I have the newest version... which I know I don't - I have 4.2 46555

I just purchased this a month ago and am not sure if I am supposed to go and download the update or what...

Thanks.

FotoFusion v4.3 required SSE2 to run it. My computer does not support it, therefore v4.2 is the latest version for the computer does not have SSE2 feature. Should make a note of it.

How old is your computer Greg ? SSE2 was introduced with Intel's Pentium IV processor in 2001. Rival chip-maker AMD added support for SSE2 with the introduction of their Opteron and Athlon 64 ranges of AMD64 64-bit CPUs in 2003.

I pointed out to Lumapix that this new Build insists on SSE2, querying why. They replied giving me a link to an alleged non-SSE2 Build (48157), which unfortunately didn't work because that too insists on SSE2. I got back to Lumapix again and am awaiting their reply. When they reply they will no doubt publish the non SSE2 link in this forum.
