Unfortunately there is no /affinity switch in XP, afaik.

I'm not sure what is wrong with your wineq, but for the normal shortcut with patchme you can try.. after launching it:

-Open Task Manager
-In Processes, Right Click on eqgame.exe
-Set Affinity (My advice would be keep CPU 0 checked, and uncheck CPU 1)

That works as a manual solution but you would need to do it every time you launch the game. There are programs which force this for XP .exes, I believe.
