If your computer is a duel processor, some older programs don't like it. Start Thief2, but don't go beyond the menu screen. ALT TAB out of it to desk top. ALT CTRL DEL to get to task manager got to "Processes". Find "Thief2.exe" Right click mouse. Click on "Set Affinity" Unclick one of the CPUs Close task manager. ALT TAB back to Thief2. I suggest you go to this web site, become a member (free) and go to the tech forum. Lots of good info about Thief there. http://www.ttlg.com/forums/index.php
