Thanks for your reply, I'll download the IA32 manual and try the next option to flush the TLB. [IIRC, clearing the PGE flag in cr4, local tlb flush, resetting the PGE flag, local tlb flush].

I found the Pentium III handbook on the Intel Developer CD, and they have removed the sentence that WBINVD clears the TLB cache. It seems this is a typo in the Pentium Pro handbook.
