everybody, I recently installed a second processor in my IBM M Pro
workstation, but I see that when Inventor makes the drawing views, only 50% of
the CPU's power are used, in the task manager window, when one processor works
at 100% power the other one is idle. Do anybody else can tell me some trick to
sove this situation? Regards, Giovanni.

Open taskmanager and look for the Backahl.exe
process. Set its affininity to processor 1. You can leave Inventor's affininty
to both 0 and 1.

The tool in question is named IMAGECFG.EXE -- Image Config, so named because
Microsoft refers to application binaries in Windows as the "image" of an
application. To set processor affinity for an app, you'll need to run IMAGECFG
from the command line with the following parameters.
imagecfg -a 0xn <D:>\Path\program.exe
The "0xn" is a hex code that sets which processor to give the program
affinity to. For processor 0, it's 0x1; for processor 1, it's 0x2. The numbers
go up to 32 processors, but the progression of the mask is peculiar: 0x1, 0x2,
0x4, 0x8, then 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, 0x80, 0x100, 0x200, and so on.
Once you do this, the exe for the program in question will be changed
permanently, so it's a good idea to make a backup copy of the exe in
question before playing with this. Also, you cannot use IMAGECFG on
.DLLs.

time I ran IV. Any way to set this up as a default?

If you want to do this yourself with an app that doesn't normally support
it, you'll need to use a tool from the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit
(Supplement #1). You can also find this tool in the \SUPPORT folder of the
Windows NT/2K Server CD-ROM.
The tool in question is named IMAGECFG.EXE -- Image Config, so named
because Microsoft refers to application binaries in Windows as the "image" of
an application. To set processor affinity for an app, you'll need to run
