Alright. Well, I have The First Decade package, which has WinXP support for the
early C&C titles. Should I test it with win95 or winXP compatibility? Also, how
should users with multicore CPUs workaround this bug? I noticed the schedtool
suggestion, I would need to learn how to use schedtools first before testing it
with C&C. Do you have other recommendations?
