Vista 32: Set Affinity Permanently

[P4rD0nM3]

Does anyone here know how to set Affinity permanently? I have to set it manually every time I restart my computer. Thanks.

Set affinity for what?
Why are you having to set the affinity for any program?

There is a tool that was part of a resource kit that can permanently alter the affinity in the .exe file, but I'll ask the same question the other poster did: what possible reason could there be to do such a thing?

 

[P4rD0nM3]

Just wondering if it's possible.

And the answer is: yes, it is.

Do I have to install a certain software or I can just do some stuff in their command line?

That program can modify an .exe so that it has processor affinity permanently. Read the docs and be careful with it, but you're on your own with it, so getting support from me ends here.

Oh hey, thanks!

As others have cautioned, this can cause some troubles, and has no real reason to do so.

There's still a few games here and there that freak out until you set the affinity to use one core, even under Vista.

I haven't seen that yet and i've been using the release version of Vista for several months. Can you give an example of a game that has problems?
