ORIGINAL: Bodhi Granted, but why would the problem manifest itself only with SPWAW? Yeah were in a "Paradox" aren't we? It can't be his machine since every other thing works besides SPWAW on that machine yet it can't be SPWAW since it works for every other person including ones with the same chipset with hyperthreading enabled. I would bet if he tried enough programs/games, especially ones of an older age such as SPWAW that he would find others with problems on that machine. Even if he didn't a conflict for a single piece of software and the particular environment is not all that uncommon. So they are making a certain DirectX call or whatever in SPWAW that isn't being made anywhere else. Initializing the screen a different way. Whatever it must all be valid code or it wouldn't work for the rest of us. Something, some application, some driver, is interfering in his case with how hyperthreading behaves with this particular app. My suggestion... Take out all non-essential hardware including sound card, network card if possible (or disable it) etc etc and then try the app again. Then try it in SAFE mode, then try a base-level parrallel install. Good chance it would work but don't know if it would be worth all that trouble. If it were me I'd just buy a new motherboard. I'd bet money it would solve the issue, since mine works. Then Ebay the ASUS one. In the end out far less $$$, time and frustration than any other method...
