In the layout editor right

In the layout editor right click on a WoW screen(Colored Box) and select video settings. There are check boxes for processor affinity.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Make sure you are hitting

Make sure you are hitting Save after adjusting the video settings. I would just leave all processors checked even if you only have 4 it still only use 4 if you check on all 8.

Chat

We chatted and got processor affinity working.

There is an issue with accessing video settings we are trying to resolve. It throws the error above when trying to save and load settings. It does not happen on any of my test machines so if any one else is having this issue any information would help.

Thank You,
Jeremy

Sounds like you may not have

Sounds like you may not have .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 installed. Double check that first, it should show under Add/Remove Programs.
