Please check with some tools (like CPU-Z) if SSE2 is correctly enabled on your host.

Highly doubt that is the problem as I can run SSE2 apps at other project with no problems and it is correctly reported by the OS.

I suspect it is the compiler and/or compiler switches you are using. I have seen the same problems at some newer projects or project that have used new(er) MS Visual Studio Compilers that are not Windows XP compatible by default.

6 of 6 tasks failed the same way with "Computation errors" after task run a few seconds on the new Windows SSE 32-bit tasks on my Windows XP host ...

Will you also update BAM!
One issues I see all over BOINC Projects is when they make a change like this they do not contact BAM! to have them change their info so that it updates all the Clients that use BAM!.
Thank you

The project owner/admin have NO control over what is in BAM!
You need to ask Willy at BOINCSTATS to change the code in BAM! once it is fully implemented here at TNGrid by posting a message in the forum titled "BAM! Bug Report"
