Interrupt-Affinity Filter

I'm attempting to bind the driver for the Pulsar to either cpu1 or 0, rather than just the app by using task manager.

However, using the Interrupt-Affinity filter and setting a mask renders my Pulsar unusable upon reboot. To make things even more confusing, there seem to be 2 copies of pulsar running at any time. I've backed out my changes for a moment and I'm asking whether anyone else has attempted to use this tool with the pulsar? (note, i'm not referring to the /intaffinty switch in your startup ini)

Where did you find that thing? Only reference I came up with had something to do with MS dataserver. Can you give a link?

Thanks

I actually got it off a guy in #midiwarez EFnet who has a Pulsar 1 (not installed) and we were discussing using the Creamware stuff in dual cpu mobos. Conversation turned to the problems that Sblive!s have in dual setups and he mentioned that he's using the filter tool on his sblive, so he sent me the zip to try it out, with the results I mentioned above. A quick search tho reveals this link:

Let me know if you have better luck than I. Btw, masking it to either cpu (0 or 1) seemed to make little difference in the results I obtained.
