1) Right Click on My Computer , click on Manage

2) Click on Device Manager in left side window

3) On right side click on plus sign next to Computer

4) You should see ACPI Multiprocessor System ( OR something similiar)

5) Double click on the ACPI Multiprocessor

6) Click on the Driver Tab and click on Update Driver

7) Click Next -> Click on dot next to "display a list of known drivers" -> Click Next Again -> Click on dot next to "show all hardware of this device class" -> Select ACPI Uniprocessor PC and click Next.

8) Before rebooting right click on my comupter again, click on Properties.

9) Click on the Advanced Tab, then click on the Enviormental Variables button.

10) in the bottom box locate NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS, Double click on it and change Value to 1.

Hello,

 

in XP you can change to ACPI single processor, but cannot change back. The only way I found (without pressing F5 on re-install) was to use the MS snapshot system. When you want to restore to Multiprocessor, restore the system snapshot. If anyone knows a workaround for this, I would like to hear it.

 

Also, when will the patch be out for this problem?

I went back and changed back to a multiprocessor system, I used the exact directions that our friend has given us, but basically did it backwards, and both processors seem to be working fine

 

what went wrong when you tried to enable both processors?

4. I'm having crashing problems connecting to multiplayer with my Dual AMD processor. Help?

 

We are aware of this issue and are working on a permanent fix. In the meantime, if you change the kernel to

the Uniprocessor driver instead of the Multiprocessor driver and it works fine.

 

 

awwww they use my gimp fix and show me no love heh ;*(**
