I'm having a lot of problems with my games since updating to a amd athlon 64 x2 processor, of course the problems such as disappearing weapons, grenades in call of duty 1 and nasty sound glitches in serious sam 2 all stem from the dual core processor and iv heard that a solution is to make it run in 1 core mode....but how do i do that?
 
1. I personally dont think thats the problem, I think its a driver issue

2. I would look into the BIOS, im pretty sure thats where it can be located. or in the task manager, i havent tried.

iv updated to all patches for all games and all Vid card divers and all other drivers!! this must be it!!! lol
 
In BIOS it should have an option to enable or disable it, but it really depends on the motherboard.

Well i heard that some people are able to turn it on/off. You can also enable or disable HT in the BIOS.
 
I also don't think thats the problem but to make it run on one core when you start the game \ app. just go to the task manager --> Processes --> right click on the game \ app and go to set affinity and set the affinity to core 1 or 0 and it will only run on that core.

I was experiencing the same problem and needed to use the affinity to play many of my games. The best way to fix the problem without this is using the windows xp hotfix which can be found here

Use the instructions to add the reg key, this should pix many problems.
Hope this helps

this is an old thread, but is it possible to turn of one of the cores in the device manager?
under the processors it shows 2 processors, just disable one...
 
Yeah, I think I saw this on Google Video where the guy playes Counter Strike 1.6 and the game is ultra fast, then he pressed ALT+TAB, went to task manager, turned off one of the cores and the game was normal.
