You will probably have to reinstall. A repair may work, but I would start from scratch.

yeah a repair or reinstall is a necessity. There is something called a HAL I believe that is not installed that is needed for a duallie.

You might beable to switch the HAL drivers in windows so it picks up dual CPU. But its probley safer to reinstall. Its worth a shot, I mean whats the worst that could happen, if it screws up your still stuck with option A.

Yep reinstall is your best option. And you know that a fresh install is better and faster than an old one that has moved motherboards.
