hey,

im trying to run older games on my machine, AMD x2 4400. I believe it may be the extra core that is causing freezes & crashes. i know that setting affinity is an option, but i cannot ALT-TAB out of the game to set the affinity. doing so locks up my entire computer. So is there a way to run the .exe from cmd promt, telling it to start with only one core?

If that doesn't work, you can use this utility to easily set the affinity.
