"Your CPU doesn't support SSE" on Athlon XP 2400+ ?

Hi everyone, someone happened to get this error message on his XP?
I wonder what could be wrong, i'm pretty sure my cpu has sse
I have the latest DX etc installed. Mainboard is a k7s5a, maybe its fault?

Thanks!

Hi, i just tried that, but no luck. There is no option to turn it on or off.
Damn and i just tried cpuid.. "SSE: Not supported" Great :/
I never noticed that before. wtf is going on here..
Gotta do some googling

- UPDATE -

Now it works Seems my BIOS is unable to switch on SSE.
For people which might have the same problem:
There is a tool for windows to turn it on manually.
Do a search for a4sse.zip, i put a link in my autostart folder.
Works fine now.

Ok another update

The software fix worked, but caused the PC to restart quickly after running the emu. The problem with the k5s7a is; the bios has a bug which makes it hang with sse enabled, that's the reason why it's disabled in the bios.
Very nice, thanks ECS. Well you get what you pay for
But anyway there is a way to get it work! There's a firmware from the k7s5a Pro u can flash, it enables sse and works stable here.
Filename is: oc1209b.zip . Yes you are burning a Pro bios to a 1.x or 3.x revison non pro board, but it works. I found that info on some k7s5a forums.
Works great here, but use at your own risk
