XP Pro SP2, fully patched. Pentium D 805 2x 2.266 GHz, 1 GB RAM,
Geforce 4 4200, Asus P5P800VM motherboard.
I made the mistake of trying IE7 RC1. Shortly after installing it,
I noticed that my second CPU had disappeared in Task Manager. I
checked, and while I can see a second CPU in Device Manager, I can
no longer Set Affinity in Task Manager and a single process will
take up 99% CPU.
Removing IE7 did not restore the second CPU. Nor has reverting to
various restore points. Nor has doing an upgrade install of
Windows XP Pro.
MS's knowledgebase didn't help. I've posted in the IE 7 newsgroup
without sucess.
I've confirmed that I'm running the correct HAL - ACPI
Multiprocessor PC. I'm definitely running XP Pro. There are
definitely two processors listed under Processors in Device
Manager, yet Windows only seems to be using one.
I'm reluctantly looking at yet another full install. Unless you
know the fix.
