You could try using:
	__asm {fnstcw fpcw};
 	fpcw &= ~X86_FPCW_PRECC_MASK;
 	fpcw |= X86_FPCW_PREC_DOUBLE;
 	__asm {fldcw fpcw};
 	__asm {fnstcw fpcw};

Note: I haven't tested and I never used the MS compiler, so be warned:-)
You can also disable the code, it's not important for now
(same for the cpuid detection).
