Dual core cpu, just 1 core working :s.

[snowdog]

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...

 

[snowdog]

It says ACPI-PC (advanced configuration and power interface).
Not multiprocessor like my own pentium D.

oh not my pc btw my dads pc.

 

[snowdog]

I can only pick these 2, how can I get the newer acpi driver?

 

[snowdog]

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 .

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?

 

[snowdog]

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?

I've never experienced this when swapping a 939 rig from Single to Dual Core but I've seen some people using this.

Maybe worth a try?

THANK YOU .
Works perfectly, finally my dad has a true dual core pc now ( and finally I can have 2 cores for supreme commander on his pc).
