Turn off the Emulate Math bit and turn on the Monitor Processor bit (something about FPU WAIT or whatever). Then, turn on the OSFXSR bit (if available, to tell the cpu that the OS supports SSE).

I think Windows does FXSAVE/FXRSTOR for you, hence the idea that the OS needs to support it. (At least, saving/restoring manually just slows it down a lot, at least under XP, because it's already doing so, at least from what I can tell under OpenWatcom's WD.)
