As the title plus error{0xc000001d}

I have an old PC (circa 2000 on XP) which I keep because it has a rather useful audio program and onboard sound card on it which I would not want to lose and also it's a spare in case the others go down. I once tried to put "Light" on it and got the above, but more seriously I tried to update Malwarebytes today and got the dreaded message, above. I uninstalled MWB and tried to reinstall it (vers.2) but got the same message. Other than this the machine works OK, runs all its other programs without trouble.

Anybody got any ideas?

Incidentally, when I was looking for a download site for MWB via Google the official site only offered version3 which it seems you have to pay for after a free trial. I found vers.2 at filehippo, which I've used before and found to be safe.

I downloaded Malwarebytes this afternoon onto a new laptop and I've got version 3

Free trail etc.......... 13 days left on the free trial

But my understanding is that at the end of the free trial you just revert to the basic one if you don't pay up ?

After some Googling I found a Malwarebytes forum which acknowledged the problem and offered a download:

https://malwarebytes.app.box.com/s/7...qlvtevziq3ziut

Which seems to work! It states a known problem on some older machines running XP with AMD (which it is) or single core P3. Now, how to answer the same problem with Light? The daft thing is that Firefox runs OK - so why does Light suffer from this problem?

Further light (no pun intended) to shed - it seems it's to do with processors without SSE2 instruction set. Now if MWB can do it ...........?
