Is there any way to define which process that a program runs on (on a
permanent bases). I have found that with one program if I set affinity
under the task manager to only one processor the program loads fine. If I
don't do this it takes about 10 x longer for the program to load.

Please help?

In a word... No. Hyperthreading is a mechanism to make a pseudo-processor
available to your system. In order to take advantage of a multi-processor
environment, your applications must be designed for it.
