Cpu Program Rotation?

I have XP Pro x64 on a quad core proc. When I am playing everquest, I notice
on the Task Manager that the different everquest sessions are being rotated
to different cores, and occasionally, they ALL end up on the SAME core,
resulting in everything freezing.

Ive tried to manually set affinity via the task manager but its not allowed.
Im using wineq2 and have the innate eq affinity setting to off.

Im told by tech support its an XP issue not Everquest or WinEQ2. So my
question is, how do I STOP the OS from rotating my multiple instances of the
same game around and force them onto discrete cores?

Re: Cpu Program Rotation?

Take this issue to the microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general newsgroup
since it sounds more like a 64bit issue than an XP issue.
