This is exactly what I was looking for...

Value 13
  Name:            NumWorkers
  Type:            REG_DWORD
  Data:            0x0

This needs to be a positive int value, usually the number of procs (1 or 2).   Use the settings tool to change it, try 1 first.

thanks! I am at work and will try this when I get home!
