Help! Firefox is [stalling/displaying images extremely fast/won't open at all/takes 100% CPU usage]. Help! Thunderbird is [stalling/not opening/locking up/taking 100% CPU usage/displaying time-out errors instantly without checking my email account]. Help! [other app] is acting weird.
Most issues arise when these programs are run in multi-core processing environments (such as AMD X2 processors, Intel Core Duo, and even Pentium 4 Hyperthreading). To fix this problem permanently, make a backup copy of the .exe in question, and then use ImageCFG to set the affinity to a single processor/core. This should work on nearly every application. I'm sure there are plenty of other applications that aren't multi-core aware, and this will help you fix them, or at least assign them to other cores!
- Download ImageCFG from the ImageCFG page. Save ImageCFG.exe to the root of your system drive (%systemdrive%), for readability/compatibility purposes. Alternatively, you could permanently install it as a system command by putting it in \Windows\System32.
- Open a command prompt window: Start > Run > cmd.exe
- Type all of the following, pressing enter after each line (substituting any paths that may be incorrect on your system):
%systemdrive%
cd \
copy "%programfiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird-old.exe"
copy "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox-old.exe"
ImageCFG -a 0x1 "%programfiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
ImageCFG -a 0x1 "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
You will need to make sure that "%programfiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird-old.exe" goes on the same line as copy "%programfiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" as the line(s) may get split or wrapped in your browser. If there is any confusion, click here for a plain text file that will probably not wrap in your browser. If it does wrap, screw your browser!
