Reboot your system for the changes to take effect. In the 'Boot' tab Check the 'Make all boot settings permanent' box>Click on OK in System Configuration.
Click on OK in the Boot Advanced Options. Run>type msconfig>click on 'OK" data-type="undefined" target="_blank">in System Configuration select the 'Boot' tab> select 'Advanced settings" data-type="undefined" target="_blank">select the 'number of processors' and use the drop down box to select how many processors your system has at its disposal. You can change this in msconfig so that Windows 7 sees how many processors you have at startup. That strikes me as being wrong if, like me, you have a Core 2 Dual processor. In msconfig Windows 7 is set by default for 1 processor.
