Permanently Setting Affinity/Core for a game?

[Coldkilla]

Some of my older games don't work unless only 1 core is active. I was wondering if there was a program out there that automatically set the affinity for specific programs without having to manually doing it each time.

Thanks

sometimes in bios it lets you disable the other core. But that'd be a permanent solution for your entire system. maybe one of the mobo utilities that come with it could help you out?

I'm not sure if this works with dual cores....so try and see maybe?

CHANGE FOREGROUND APPLICATION PRIORITY

For users who usually run one major application or game at a time on their machine, you can set Windows XP to give even higher priority in allocating resources to such "foreground applications". Follow the tweak below to implement the change:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]
Win32PriorityControl=38

Create a new DWORD called Win32PriorityControl and allocate a value of 38 to it in Decimal view.

I dont want it to set a higher priority, I want it to be set on a single core. The switching between jobs on both cores is screwing up my all my old games
