SetCursorPosition used in two threads simultaneously

I am currently writing a console game in C#. I am using two theads, both of which print something on the console with Console.SetCursorPosition(). But because the cursor is just one, the program sometimes swaps the places the text is printed and causes a mess. Is there a way to get around this?

sounds like you need a lock around the setposition and the write

lock(x)
{
 Console.SetCursorPosition()
 Console.Write();
}

where x is an object allocated for this purpose. It must be shared amongst all the threads
