EDIT: Slightly modified to make it work 100%, also applies to Warrior Within
After experimenting... I found a solution and here it is....
1) Open Sands of Time
2) Press Ctrl-Alt-Del WHEN it is showing the POP logo, that will bring up the task manager.
2. Click on the Processes tab and scroll until you find POP.exe
3. Right-click on pop.exe and click on the bottom entry in the menu which says "Set Affinity...".
4. You should have 2 options there CPU 0 and CPU 1.
5. Untick CPU 1.
6. Click OK.
7. Go back into SOT... if its fixed great... if not, restart the computer and it would be fixed 
Many thanks must go to Reishoto for providing 99% of the background info on this  and i should be credited for the final 1%

Sorry. A joke. I meant that if the game played too fast it may seem ‘normal’ once you activate EotS!

SOT should work fine with Vista with a PC on with Dual Core, since vista supports it better. I didnt do any changes in Vista on SOT. |

Ok now I really laughed,
I've unticked one CPU, and the game works slower!
As slow as slowmotion
So this is also really not playable, I think this
game wants to annoy me xD |
