People with the K7S5A board who cant play True Crime here comes Help, now you can play True Crime. You must Flash ur Bios with this Version http://www.lejabeach.com/Pro/hx0811.zip cuz the Original ECS Bios dos not support SSE, so people with AMD XP CPU cant use this extension, but with this file above the SSE support is now on, if u get probs with this Bios you can find Help here http://p199.ezboard.com/bk7s5amotherboardforum if nothing Help u must flash back ur last Bios and must wait for a patch for True Crime.

While flashing a BIOS can be risky, the benefits here outweigh the risk since the problem is NOT one game. The real problem is that the board does not enable the SSE instructions and as more software is starting to require them, users with these motherboards most certainly need SSE enabled if they have an Athlon XP or Duron which has them.

No need to complain to ECS since they have fixed the problem, and that BIOS update is the fix.
