I think a boot.ini entry with /onecpu is the way to do this.

But I'm not saying that these problems don't exist on single-core machines 
(they do, as I am able to reproduce something like the behaviour mentioned), 
I'm just saying the behaviour may be different (as I don't see exactly the 
behaviour described), and I do not have the resources to test on a 
multiple-core machine.
