Activate Dual Core
Hi,
I have a notebook which has a Centrino Duo CPU but Windows is only recognising one othe cores. I think this is down to the fact that the machine was imaged from a Single CPU Machine. Is there a way, without a total re-install of Windows, which will allow me to "activate" dual core? (getting Windows to actually know the CPU is there!). This is Windows XP Pro. The BIOS is already set to Dual Core aware but Windows doesn't know jack about it at present. TIA

Activate Dual Core
You might try typing msconfig in the run box, boot.ini tab, advanced options
button, check the /NUMPROC= box, use the drop down (v) to see if 2 is available, if it is select 2, ok your way out and reboot, any change..? Also, look in the task manager, performance tab, view, CPU history, to see if you can select more than one graph per CPU..

I have performed as advised and I see that under msconfigboot.iniadvanced optionsnumproc and I got a 1 with no other selectable option.
I use WinXP SP2, on a Dell E6400. A repair install of Xp has not resolved the matter and I cannot perform a reinstall as I do not have the key. Please assist.
