Are you using XP or Vista? Are you logged in as Administrator?

You could try disabling UAC if you are running Vista. Disable UAC by running regedit and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System. Change the value of DWORD EnableLUA from 1 to 0 to disable UAC. 0=disabled, 1=enabled.

If that doesn't work for you, let me know specifically what error you get when you are denied access to "Set Affinity".

ok, hopefully this will work for you:

as the local administrator, do start -> run, and type secpol.msc [enter]

this will launch windows local security policies management console. select "Local Policies" then "User Rights Assesment" then "Debug Programs". You may need to add your local administrative account to the Debug Programs policy.

if that doesn't work for you let me know.

And have the same result if I try to set affinity on another laptop at home :(

But working well if I do the same with eq2 process

[marco820]

OK....I have FINALLY found a solution !!!!

For me the solution is : to run this game in windows 98 compatibility mode !

I don't know why i must do this but it works

I hope it will help people who have the same problem

Oh man. Thank you so very much for this. After countless hours trying to get my friend's dual-core rig running EQ properly under Windows XP, that compatibility deal did it. I can't believe I never thought of that. Thank you, from he and I both!
