Hi All,
I'm not sure how many people this affects, but I recently picked up a C16
and was finally faced with the dual core/c16 issues first hand.
I've only tested for about an hour, but PARIS has worked perfectly for that
long without disabling the second CPU, and it froze up immediately without
the fix.
I'm using Windows XP pro with an Athlon X2 3800+ with 2 EDS cards and one
C16.
The fix is a utility that you can launch before starting PARIS that assigns
the PARIS software to one CPU. I selected CPU 1 for my tests. This leaves
the other CPU free to run a MIDI sequencer, do Windows housekeeping, or whatever.
The cpu software is here:

If anyone has trouble downloading it, I could post it.
There's a tab called "application profiles" where you can browse for software
to assign a cpu affinity for it. As long as the program is running before
PARIS starts, everything seems to work fine.
I've also just managed to get PARIS running under Windows 98 SE on an AM2
motherboard if anyone is interested in the gory details.
Hope is useful to someone out there.
All the best,
Mike
