I am at a loss right now. Try to set up EAC with current flac version. When I test it I get a dialog box for an error that wants to send to MS. I click don't send and then the compression results pop up with a return code 3221225501. I am running this on a computer that has XP SP3. I thought that XP might not be allowing flac to run, so I put it into the exemptions. If I just launched flac from the folder it is in I was getting a dialog box warning about unknown software but I selected the "do not show this again" box and that took care of that. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Try FLAC 1.3.1 from http://www.rarewares.org/lossless.php . Does it work for you?

Sorry, that did not work. Thanks anyhow. I had my doubts. I have been playing with this all day. What I have basically come to the conclusion is that there is an issue with XP itself. I have tried running sysinternals process explorer on it and that won't even run. I just keep getting a message that a problem was encountered and asked about sending MS the failure information which is the same thing that happens when the flac compressor tries to run. So I believe therein lies the problem. Thanks for your suggestion anyways.
What processor do you use?
I have an AMD K5 processor 1200 MHz. on a ECS K7S5A with a SiS 735 chipset. Since you are asking I am assuming you think that this might be the issue. I have basically been just using this computer to run music via Mediamonkey to my home stereo but now I wanted to use it for ripping cds to flac. If this is the issue, hopefully there is some way around this. Thanks.
Try the link from the 2nd post here - https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,107913.0.html
P.S. I'm sure that your CPU is Athlon or Duron, not K5.

You are right, it is an Athlon proccessor. My mind was hung up with a different computer. The file you sent me to worked just fine. When I tested the encoder it ran without errors. Going to do a test rip now, but I am confident this work judging by this results. Thank you so much.
Everything went great with the rip. Thanks alot. I really appreciate your help. You deserve a bowl of your favorite ice cream! (hopefully you are not lactose intolerant)

also hanging on this issue with the Athlon XP processor in my "CD ripping PC" ...
(https://sourceforge.net/p/flac/bugs/437/)
I know that I can download a build that's without SSE2 support from the above mentioned link... But I don't want to use software from sources I don't trust, so I want to build my own flac.exe without SSE2 support...
I got VIsual Studio 2015 on another notebook and already was able to build flac.exe, but with SSE2 support... Maybe anybody could give me a hint how to disable SSE/SSE2 when I build with VS2015... to bad that it's not as easy like "--disable-sse" on GNU/Linux platform :-/
1) Select Release/Win32 configuration.
2) Select all projects in the FLAC solution -> right click -> Properties
3) Open C/C++ -> Code Generation page
4) Set "Enable Enhanced Instruction Set" to "No enhanced instructions"
5) Don't forget to set Platform Toolset to v140_xp is you want to use this build on WinXP.
I have a Pentium III and I followed this guide. It works, but when I want to add cover image to file gives me an error: "ERROR: (--picture) error opening picture file"
I have an another version from here (It works fully) but I want to build myself.

Thanks, works :-)
@lvqcl And for the ones using MinGW, do you know what are the compilation steps to follow ?
Any help will be much appreciated.

If you use FLAC 1.3.2 then you only need to add --disable-sse option when you call ./configure.
Thank you for your answer :-)
Yes, i used 1.3.2 version.
I tried but i'm not sure it keep SSE set while discarding the SSE2 instructions set ?
By the way, i tried to build but at the end when i run it, it say that libFLAC-8.dll is not found.
For the newbie that i'm, it's seem that it make a dynamic build ? I tried with --enable-static but it didn't make any difference.
Any idea ?

Try:
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-sse
That's worked, thx :-)
I didn't know it wasn't "automatic" and that i need to set the shared option as well.
But yet, i'm not able to include libogg, as when i compiile with
--with-ogg=/usr/local, and run the FLAC.exe file i get a "libogg-0.dll is not found" message.One more idea ? :-)
Last edit: Samuel 2017-01-10
Try
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
for libogg as well.
Yeaaah... it worked :-D
Thank you very much for your help and knowledge sharing ;-)
Have a nice evening.
