see if it could help my problem.

You'll need the DVD in the drive. Vista DVD I assume
Open up Device Manager.

Click the + next to computer.

Right click on whatever entry is there (such as ACPI x86 based PC) and
select properties.

Click on Driver Tab

Click on Update Driver.

Click on Browse My Computer

Click on Let me pick from a list. You may need to untick the "Show
compatible hardware" box.

Select the one appropriate, let it install a driver then reboot.

Which one should we pick?








Hi, I have same problem, Vista not using both cpu's,
I have a D490 Intel Duel core, both are listed in device manager but
if I click task manager and view performance, there is only one graph
for CPU and I cannot change it to two
Yet when I reinstalled XP Pro onto other HD last weekend and ran it,
sure enough there was two graphs for cpu's
Re your instructions above?
What DVD?
Vista Ultimate 64bit is what I have.
I tried that
Found ACPI x64 based PC, update drive, chose let me choose and browse
my PC, but nothing was found.

Did anyone fix this problem?

if so, please post reply or email me at

Have you gone into task manager performance view cpu history and selected
one graph per cpu?

Is your MOBO BIOS up to date?
