Re: sysinfo and cpu

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry




I will try scan first.

just in case that fails to fix the problem,
any chance of fixing the problem with somehow copying the hal file from the
bare sp2 partition into the restored form image one?

however the other partition behaved differently; sys info shows only
one
cpu with the correct speed. The task manager does show two in
performance. this partition was restored from a ghost image of another
similar PC but different model of core 2 duo; the XP pro here is fully
updated including sp3 before imaging.

What can I do to fix this strange problem?

"this partition was restored from a ghost image of another similar PC but

Repair Installation and/or SFC /SCANNOW may work for you. Essentially -
you
need to get the proper HAL in the mix.

Might also just try downloading and installing the proper chipset drivers
for the motherboard. Betting you need a repair installation though.
