It properly detects the cpu, but only 1 graph shows in taskman:

Any idea's how to fix it?
Don't say new install that isnt an option.
Previous cpu on this windows was a p3 800mhz.
Got newest bios, amd drivers&optimizer, etc...
 
It says ACPI-PC (advanced configuration and power interface).
Not multiprocessor like my own pentium D.

oh not my pc btw my dads pc.

Ull need to update the driver,

If you cant find it, you will have to format the pc and press F5 when the windows cd loads and pick acpi multiprocessor yourself.
 
It a reformat of windows i think, and press F5 when the windows cd is loading (same screen you press f6 to load sata drivers) and choosing the driver yourself.

Thats what i had to do, anyone else know a better way ?

Is there a way to force to load a new HAL without a new windows?
As it's the hal loading the acpi drivers, i mean is it possible to force the hal to detect a new acpi driver?
My dad will kill me if I reformat his pc, but I want to play supcom without severe lag on his pc :P.

I don't know mate.

When i swapped OS on my laptop i lost one core, and i had the same issue you did. The only way i know is to format.

Had the same problem on my PC when i installed a dual core, was told here i had to format windows.

Installing my intel dual core was fine tho, didn't have any of this trouble.

:(
 
It's already showing 2 cores in the Device Manager,

to make it show both cores in the Taskbar try this:-

Start > Run > then type msconfig

goto Boot.ini and then advanced

and then on Numproc select 2.

Apply and then restart.

Can't select 2, as its greyed out.


On my own pc I get this choice:



Can I somehow copy over the HAL files (hal.dll) from my own pc to my dads in dos, I mean would that work?
 
Didn't help, excact same list. :(
Anybody has any idea how to easely add knowlege to windows that there are more ACPI drivers?

Or, does anyone know where the ACPI driver is located in windows? I might try to force it to install the drivers from the files I'm using myself on my own pc?
