Cannot install Silverlight, get error 1503, CPU does not support the SSE instruction set that Silverlight requires to run

Original title: silverlight

I tried to install Silverlight on my computer running Windows XP 32-bit with service pack 3. My question is, it downloads and then when I try to install, it appears that my CPU will not Silverlight support. I get the Message 1503, CPU does not support the SSE instruction set that Silverlight requires to operate.

So here's my question... How can I fix it? And what is the problem? Any help would be appreciated... Is it a I need a new operating system problem or just a cranky computer problem?
Thank you
Lynn
