As the subject says I cannot turn on multicore support for a machine with a Dual core P4 processor. The option is greyed out. It is not a HT processor either.

Does somone have a workaround for it?

Should be a Pentium D. Can you confirm?
If Task manager shows 2 CPUs you're right.
Multicore should be enabled in the BIOS, take a look.

Yepp it is a Pentium D. I have two processors in the Task manager as well.

Bios should not be a problem Unless offcourse anyone know of a bug somewhere, latest flash for the bios. It is an ASUS motherboard with an Intel 975x chipset.

Have been through the registry and settings files for Live 6 and cannot find a setting for it anywhere. But live must get the info somehow and I think (hope) that is the problem. Does anybody knows which info Live uses to identify the processor and exaktly where it is?

Try reinstall Live. This shouldn't occur.

Hey guys, i have the same problem as the topicstarter.... anyone got a fix ?

Reinstall doesn't help a thing.

I have a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz and i do see 2 3.2 Ghz processors in the Device Manager

Anyone got a clue ?

bump

i have the same prob

For what it's worth I've emailed support with this issue. I will post what I find out.

Hmm, running Intel Core 2 Duo in HP Pavilion Latop (DV9000t custom built). I'll have to check TaskManager to see if it lists both CPU's. I didn't think to really look for that. All else seems to be running ok. I just finished installing more audio apps (Komplete 2, KLC (Korg Legacy).

And I'll have to look for that option on the CPU for multicore. It'll be interesting to see what it shows. I've got I think the 945 chipset in this one but could be different.

did this ever get resolved?

I have friend with a toshiba satalite that has 2 p4 cpu's as well, and it doesnt work for him either.. The option is greyed out, when it clearly shows hes running 2 cpus in the task manager, system info, and dxdiag.

I have a HP Pavilion with a AMD 64 X2 and it works for me.. so im thinking this is some sort of problem recognizing "Multiprocessor" and not Multicore...

Same problem.
Pentium 4 3.2GHz with HyperThreading.
Multicore/processor greyed out

same issue here.. cannot seem to figure it out.


it's mildly irritating considering that my primary reason for upgrading to a dual-core was for Live.. has anybody figured this out yet?

what is strange from what I read on this thread, is that there are no queries about this on macs.

I can't use the multiprocessor support ! Pentiun D, no problem with my processors.

Tout fonctionnait tres bien avant que j'ai réinstallé windows xp sp2.

What is the solution ???

thanks.
