processor affinity(s)

I'll try to make this as brief as possible.

I recently purchased 'Starwars Knights of the old Republic' from Steam.

It runs okay (great game btw) but it crashes randomly with no pattern. I did a little research and it seems it has issues with dual core processors. Its an older game.

The recommended work around was a minor edit to the .ini file and then to use an applet called imagecfg.exe. This applet can be used to modify any program .exe file so that it calls to run on a single core fixing stability issues.

imagecfg works in as much as it modifies the .exe file as advertised. However now steam has issues as it looks at the .exe and declares it invalid (error 51)

So my questions are...

Is there any other way to set the affinity of a process?

Failing that is there any way to force your system to just use one core (temporarly of course) ?
