hyperthreading causes quicken problem

First, I should say I'm not an expert on this and could be way off base. And perhaps I'm not understanding your note. However, hyperthreading and dual-core processors are not necessarily related. Hyperthreading was around for several years before dual-core processors made their appearance.

Another question: How do you turn off one processor? I didn't think it was possible. Or if it is, I don't think many people know how.

(FYI: I own a dual-core machine, but have had it for only a few months.)

Expert- me neither. I have a dual-core processor with hyperthreading. Actually thought that was one and same, thanks for info. FYI: Use task manager "control-alt-del" in XP then r click on any running process and set affinity. This is how to turn off one processor for a specific task. Mel

Cool!

I have a hyperthreaded Pentium 4 and I have no problems with Quicken

Don't see why that is required. A program should not know nor care how many processors are running.

I have a hyperthreaded Pentium 4 and I have no problems with Quicken 2006 H&B. I did have a problem with a game that required that you turn off hyperthreading. One could use the affinity trick or there was a program that I downloaded which toggled a setting in the exe so that it only ever uses 1 processor.

Well it shouldn't.

Again (for those who have apparently lost the ability to read) it doesn't happen for me. As such I would check your configuration.
