|    Need help with getting Windows to use bo    |

      From: no-reply@nowhere.com              Hi everyone!              I never tried to fix this before, but Windows (XP Pro w/ SP2 & all updates)       only shows one core from my Pentium D 805.              I checked Task Manager and have One CPU per graph, but only shows one graph.       Also, CPU-Z has the Processor Selection drop down grayed out. I also know       that I am only using one core because I use VMware and the virtual machines       only use one processor, but my physical processor can go up to 100% instead       of 50%.              I have the latest BIOS, ACPI is enabled, and POST shows "Count: 2" for my       CPU. Device Manager shows "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" and even shows 2       processors of "Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz"!              I have also tried to set NUMPROC=2 in boot.ini, but that didn't work. I also       tried to do a repair install, but I still only saw one core.              I've searched on the internet for a possible solution, but couldn't find       one. I appreciate any help! Thanks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
