No "set affinity" in Task Manager

[dsnyder24]

sorry if this has already been asked but i couldnt find a proper answer for me. I have 64 bit Win7 and i need to set my affinity to CPU 0 & 1 for a certain game that doesnt run well on my i7 860. I contacted them and they told me this is what I need to do. I do know how to USUALLY do this (task manager, go to process, show all processes, right click, set affinity...) but for some reason I cannot get the set affinity option to show up for the life of me.. also I am the administrator and I only have one account on this computer. Can anyone help because Microsoft sucks with their customer service. Please and Thank You!!!

In the Processes tab, right-click the process and click affinity....

yes.. i know that. BUT my problem isnt WHERE it is. I know that you have to do that because i explained that I do, I know its supposed to be under set priority but its not there.

That's where it is supposed to be .... if it's not there, then it's kinda like asking where your car keys are .... If the feature has somehow been disabled, we'd have to know how and why to answer your question.

Silly question, but Task Manager is showing all your cores?

ok update:
realized for some reason my i7 is being read as only 1 core. SO... new question lol. How do I fix this to read the cores.

nevermind i figured it out... had to go into msconfig and check "use original boot configuration." idk why it was unchecked to begin with but oh well. Thanks anyway all.
