Bug Description

It's probably just STREAM but I was also trying to douwnload and run Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition. The only thing I'm seeing is system generated error reports. NWN does not run at all. STEAM client is having trouble with the STEAM browser. I'll have to see if there's a command I can run in my command line to identify whether my CPU has SSE2 compliance. Seems to me the computer ought to be modern enough that it should, but it's old enough I need to test.
