| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Boot Advanced Options - Number of Processors Hello John. LOL, could be. See if resetting the BIOS back to factory defaults can help ID the CPU correctly. If you have not already, then you might also flash the BIOS with the latest version. Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Boot Advanced Options - Number of Processors Hello Micman, That message is misleading. Yes, you can go back and make changed to it again. See note under step 9. You will just need to repeat steps 8 and 9 in this tutorial again after making the changes to actually be able to change them. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Ultimate x86 | Re: Boot Advanced Options - Number of Processors Hi guys. I have the weirdest thing happen when I try this. I set it to use all of my Quad Core, and it forgets to load up some of the process on start up usually found in my system tray, namely my compro stuff. Its the oddest thing. Without these icons my remote and the DTV thing doesnt work. LOL. Anyone else encounter this. When I change it back it fixes it. |
