Disable One CPU in W2k

Hi all,
Great forum - well done everyone.
I have a problem - I need to disable one CPU in one of our W2k Workstations. The reason is that one of our programmes does not support dual CPUs and crashes. We need the other CPU for other software.
Under Windows NT 4 we could do this buy adding a line into the boot.ini file. The same command does not work in W2k - Help!
Right click on My Computer, properties, hardware, device manager, click + next to computer, then rightclick the computer type (ACPI multiprocessor or whatever), properties, driver tab, then update the driver and select uniprocessor.
