Some of you probably have or had problem like : you are starting True Crime or Suffering and you have some shitty exe problem. i have mainboard ECS K7s5a and its disabling SSE proces on my Athlon XP.
If you had that error all you need to do is to Enable that process somehow.
Firs way is download WCPUID and by tweek menu enable it ( the problem is that it reset your machine and goes back to disabled , or update your bios.
My friend wrote an email to AMD with question how to enablie SSE.
We are still waiting.
All i wanted to say , that your True Crime doesn't work cause SSE in Athlon XP is probably disabled.

If You don't have any problems , so why the hell are you looking at this toppic ? Unfortunatly non all of us can afford for a maindboard from higher shelf ! The problem is on some mainboards ( like mine ECS K7s5a )
the SSE process of Athlon XP is not found as SUPPORTED ( when it should ), and that cause problems with True Crime and Suffering while starting. If you want, check it by yourself, download WCPUID program and see by yor own eyes that YOU HAVE SSE SUPOPORTED, and I DON'T !!! , same in other players with Athlon XP and poore mainboards.
I'm waiting for an email from AMD how may i fix that problem.
For sure i will update my bios with http://www.ocworkbench.com/2002/ecs/k7s5abios/cheepobios.htm

PS. I didn't had any problems with Thief 3 ass well, this toppic is about TRUE CRIME !!!

AMD didn't answear (screw them )
Any ways, i've updated my BIOS and SSE was finaly detected.
Result -> True Crime runs, and Suffering runs too.
THX to Rzooq, king of all BUC, wouldn't done it without him.
He has discoverd that SSE problem
He rulls.

But why?
Belive me or not, the problem is about SSE.
They were disabled - that games (True Crime and Suffering) won't run
They are enabled (nothing else changed) - both games run

And both, users with ThunderBird Athlons and nVidia
or ATI cards have the same poblem.

If you have time, go to the forum of the "Surreal"
There is a topic about that problem, it was very
helpfull for us (me and DarthMike). It lead us to SSE.

With all of that said, users with 1.2 Thunderbirds are out in the cold until Activision releases a non-SSE patch as Surreal did with The Suffering...although, I'm sure Activision's support won't be as contributing to the community as Surreal's was.

Oh, now I understand Smile
Try to quote just a few lines next time, it will be a lot easier to understand for people who don't know english very well, just like me Embarassed
I tought that "lowlight" is a kind of epiteth, not a nick.
Anyway, now everything is clear Cool

And you are right, he is an ignorant person Wink
But you know that the problem is about SSE, i know that, people from here know that, so everything is ok.
