I don't have a duel core cpu but from a few years of watching people have problems on older games you can try setting process affinity when you run it do ctrl alt del and you should be able to set it to run on a single core there. There are other tricks out there but I haven't personally done them so not going to suggest anything else unless that doesn't work.

btw if you reinstalled rom2 you did remember to set the exe files to 95 or 98 compatible right? I have to ask because its a stupid thing that I have forgotten before.

that change the situation then

you got a 64 bit cpu wonder
is it dual or quad core?

now i am the ignorant in the matter :-)
have you the possibility to make rom2 explicitly run on one core only?
i am sure you have settings some where to impose that behavior

multi threaded programs want to run threads on separate cores -- when multi core cpu is present
really it is the system that take care of it for you -- but you do not always want it to happen

if games are not made to get advantage of multi core cpu then they must run all threads on one core only -- like they would with a p2 350

thanks for your extensive reply, much appreciated, although i understand only half of it but that's due to ignorance on my part ;)
i've run several hats in the past (the last one 1 year ago), but never had these issues
the hat runs fine on my P2-350 comp but that won't do for running multiple servers
my main comp (amd 64 4000+) gets these errors
so i decided to do a clean windows install hoping that this drastic measure will solve any corruption

report here later today

when click -games- button your rom2 perform search for active games

your problem may be due to internet settings

twice check your lan settings
your fire wall if any
windows fire wall if it is not disabled
finally hamachi and configuration files

some where you may find some thing out of order

other wise it may be due to direct play component of direct x
if you have windows xp service pack 2 installed you not only have bloated dot net 2.0 installed but direct x 9.0 too -- which come with direct play but is less forgiving and compatible with older direct play versions

rom2 wants direct x 6.1 at least which means your system must be direct play 6.1 compatible -- or you do not internet play

direct play is also responsible culprit for rom2 unable to by pass router -- every game relying on direct play is as that not only rom2

only win sock 2 api can freely by pass all router problems
but win sock is part of system and not part of direct x as direct play
microsoft knows and never fixed direct play problem
instead microsoft ditched support for direct play and encourage to use win sock 2

hah -- guess? direct x 10 and future have no direct play component
developers are forced to learn win sock 2 now

I'm 92.63521 % sure you use your HAMACHI IP address in all the config file. It's been a long time since I ran a HAT, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

it looks like it will be running from coming Saturday.

i'm open for your account info!
send me your login name and password

then you get from me the Hamachi IP and the exact time the hat will be running.

btw, if you don't know what Hamachi is, look [URL=http://hamachi.com]here[/URL] or [URL=http://www.download.com/3000-2651_4-10785910.html]here[/URL]
