:unresolved external symbol __mm_cvtss_f32
:unresolved external symbol __mm_castps_si128
:unresolved external symbol __BitScanForward
:unresolved external symbol __mm_min_epi32

I just came across this post. The linking problem is not related to a Windows XP operating system.
It is related to a version of Visual Studio a software developer is using.

For example, here is a usability\support matrix for these 4 functions:

VS 2005 VS 2008 VS 2010

_mm_cvtss_f32 - X X
_mm_castps_si128 - X X
_mm_min_epi32 - X X
_BitScanForward X X X

where,
'X' stands for support
'-' stands for doesn't support

Remember, that VS 2005 doesn't have a support for SSE 4.x intrinsic functions.

Best regards,
Sergey
