I have exactly that,both with the original cd version and with the anthology (dvd) version.that means I'm unable to play unless I fix the game so it will run only on one core..I'm not aware of any version of t3 that runs on multicore cpus right out of the box (maybe someone will prove me wrong?).
I'm running T3 on a quadcore out of the box. Never given me any problems and neither do any of the other Unreal Engine games that are supposed to need patching to run on multi-core (Deus EX, UT etc). Thief 1 & 2 however do need the fix, otherwise they crash when trying to load a level.

still not stickied? when it is, it needs to be stickied in ThiefGen also...
took me forever to find it to give the link to someone... though I suppose it would have helped had I remembered this Legacy Tech Help section existed heh

Windows 7 - when installing Thief Gold and switching discs InstallSHIELD might popup and tell you that the "wrong volume is in drive...." insert CD1. Just ignore the popup and/or move it out of the way and insert CD2 to continue the install.
Another thing, if you use darkloader to "optimize" Thief Gold it will use the wrong directory for the CRFs, in the install.cfg change
resname_base C:\games\ThiefG\RES
to
resname_base C:\games\ThiefG\crfs

Interesting, haven't encountered that install error before. Although I haven't actually installed thief gold on this machine, just already had the directory.

confirming the darkloader+thief gold problem.

Should be, dammit!
