Dual Core problem, plz respond

[Guest]

Hey,

I have posted earlier about an ACPI driver error but now I noticed another
problem.

"Bachag said:
I have a Toshiba P105-6227 laptop. I was trying to update my ACPI driver. So
I clicked on let me chose from a list. It was called "ACPI x86-based
computer" and now it's called "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI) PC". I can't get the first driver, and now my "Texas Instruments OHCI
Compliant IEEE 1394", "Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia
Controller", and my "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller" are not
working: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code
12)."

In my device manager, my computer detects the Intel Core 2 CPU but only one
is actually working. My computer is very slow and it only works on 1
processor.

Is there a way I can fix all this?
Does reinstalling Windows Vista fix those issues?

Thank you,
Gab

Check Backup and Restore Center. Select the option to use System Restore.
Check for a date previous to the changes.

I can't roll back or uninstall this driver... All I can do is update it and I
can't update it back to ACPI x86-based computer

Interesting but totally irrelevant to what I suggested.

Navigate to Control Panel Backup and Restore Center Use system
restore...

It is possible that there are no appropriate restore points available but
first you have to actually look.

Sorry, you're right, I just realized that. However, I did try to use system
restore after that happened directly but all my restore points were erased
for some reason.

Hmmm... My laptop is giving me such a hard time..

OK, that option is not available to you. Next, I would back up whatever
data is important or useful and see if I could press the appropriate keys
at boot-up to reset the notebook back to its factory-issued state. This
makes use of the backup partition on the HD.

Also, I wonder if multi-core processing is deselected in the BIOS setup.

Multi-core is enabled but in system properties / environmental variables / No
of processors is 1... I changed it to 2 but it doesn't apply after a restart.
Where can I find the key combination to reset the noteback back to its
factory setting?

thanks for your replies

Try checking the FAQs on the Toshiba web site.

Code 12 problems have hit alot of us, see:

As far as the dual core, have you checked the Intel website? I'm running an
AMD dual core and found that AMD had posted a load balancing utility for its
dual core processor on its website and found no other reference to it
anywhere else.

That's the problem!! There is no more "ACPI x86-based pc" in the list... I
have tried everything to get it back but nothing seems to work... need help
plzzzz
