   Need help with getting Windows to use bo

   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.
