    are you saying that you have a dual socket motherboard with 2 Pentium 4s installed or a dual core Pentium? if you upgraded to a daul core to make windows recondnise it you could reinstall windows or you will have to edit some files.

    If Windows XP does not detect dual or multi-core processor automatically, try changing the Computer's device driver first.

    Just go to Device Manger and change the driver for Computer from "Uniprocessor" to "Multiprocessor". Most likely "ACPI Multiprocessor PC".

    If that still does not work, then you will need to re-install the OS.

    found that at toms hardware
