Some applications/games like Diablo 2 for example crash when running off two CPUs. No idea if Far Cry is a candidate for this but you might want to try setting the affinity to just one of the processors.

Search the 2cpu.com forums for instructions because I can't remember how to do it off the top of my head. ;)

276423 2004-09-29 07:48:00 its most likely that Farcry and many other games dont support dual cpus Patrick 2003 (277)
276424 2004-09-29 07:48:00 Cant seem to figure out how to use one cpu only, can anyone help me out? Rpg_pro (5689)
276425 2004-09-29 07:51:00 maybe physically take out a cpu or disable it in device manager Patrick 2003 (277)
276426 2004-09-29 07:58:00 I cant "disable" any of the cpus but i can uninstall the driver. Are u sure that this and pulling out one of the cpus screw anything up? Rpg_pro (5689)
276427 2004-09-29 07:59:00 * wont screw anything up >.< Rpg_pro (5689)
276428 2004-09-29 08:01:00 WAIT!!! before you do that wait for other pressf1ers to respond because im not 100% sure on what you exactly have to do, maybe its not even possible. tweak'e, godfather you there????? Patrick 2003 (277)
276429 2004-09-29 08:18:00 Ok ill wait, But i have had some games that work without crashing/errors.
Warcraft 3, doom3, cs & serious sam. so far ..far cry is the only prob i have. I also checked the bios and nothing there do disable a cpu

One other thing.... do u think it being the demo have anything to do with it?

possibly, as you can see in the above posts, im saying that not all the advanced features are enabled in a demo. most demo's have many versions to them and the first version might be crap and not support many features, and demos arent stable and may crash and become unplayable. they are made cheaply to attract customers to the game but by being made cheaply the are of crap quality and most,most of the time they will work perfectly, but in this case its not.
