Is there a way to turn off dual core for some games with a command line or something? Serious Sam 2 seems to not like my wireless mouse with dual core turner on (even with the latest patch). I can turn off the dual core, but I dont want to Ctrl-Alt-Del every time I want to play. Is there a way to have it automatically do it on some games?

Yeah you should be able to add a line to the shortcut that will set affinity, I'm not sure how you do it though. I'll have a look :)

first, if ur running an AMD dual core, DL the dual core optimizer from amd.com

second. hit ctrl alt delete, hit processes tab, find seriousam2.exe or w/e it is. right click on it and hit set affinty. next deselect one of the CPU marks. then it'll run on one core
