Windows Task Manager shows one CPU instead of four on Quad Core CP

I recently built a new PC with WinXP SP2 and after all was said and done,
Windows Task Manager showed all four cores from my Intel Core 2 Quad Core
Proc. After a week however it started showing one CPU only. When I go to
try and change the view, it only gives me the one graph per CPU option and it
is greyed out. Any ideas how to get it to show all four cores again?
 
Open Task Manager
Select Performance Tab.
Now select View from the file menu -
See the CPU History - do you have it set to only show one graph?

In Task Manager select View, CPU History and the option you wish to
use. On my computer there are two options. One Graph, All CPUs and One
Graph per CPU. Are you saying these two options are greyed out?
