PC Wizard 2010 Reports 2 cores

Core 1 activity 2%

MSINFO32 Only shows one processor

In Device Manager under processosrs is just says AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+, there is no mention of an ACPI Multicore processor only ACPI Uniprocessor PC
:/

Sounds like a problem. Did you re-install windows at some point? It sounds like it installed the UniProcessor HAL, which doesn't support multiple cores.

Win XP? What OS?

If WinXP, be sure to Install the AMD Drivers(can't remember name).
