I got a Dell Inspiron 1.67 Intel core duo laptop but I can't turn on multi processor support in Live 6 preferences . What's up with that ? It's like the buttons don't even work.

YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PROCESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok! I'm an idiot....I thought core "duo" was 2 processors.....so it's 2 cores in 1 processor......what a marketing idea to fool idiots like me.

You're not an idiot. The text reads "multicore/multiprocessor support."
You are having a genuine problem with Live, it seems.

Anything new on this front? I got the same problem on a Dual P4 processor. It is not HT. The box for multicore option is simply greyed out and is not working.

I'd say contact support. This has to work.

I have the same CPU as you, multiprocessor support works fine here.

it doesn't matter if you have one processor or not actually, I only have one processor and it still lets me turn it on in preferences. silly isn't it?

I only have one processor, and this is greyed out for me. I thought it was a nice design, allow the program to recognize if you are multi-processor or not. Then, allow the program to respond to that, but if core-duos are having issues, that is probably not good.

Best,

oh I take back what I said, it's greyed out on me too. I remember specifically during the beta period it allowed me to turn it on all throughout the betas even though I didn't have multicore. I asked them about it and they said it doesn't matter if it's on or off for me so I might as well not mess with it hehe.

Yeah, in the initial betas, you would be able to turn it on or off, regardless if you had it or not. But not now. I think it is good design, if it works. If you have a multi-processor and it doesn't wokrk, that is pretty crap.

Let us know what happens.

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

ok this is worrying

exactly what processor is this happening with?

ive just ordered a lappy with one of these .... Centrino Duo T2400

will dual core work with this or have i been a stupid head
