We have the new Intel Dual Core Dell GX620, but we imaged the pc with our
older non dual core cpu's. How can we tell XP that there is now multiple
proccessors on the desktop? I know it has something to do with hal, but I am
lost for how to change the settings.

Thanks

If a repair install of Windows XP fails, then the alternative
would be to do a clean install in the new machine.

I found the solution , which is change the device driverfor the computer in
device manager to a multiproccero driver. but where do I find this driver?
 
Try this at your own risk... however, if you choose the device (uniprocessor
PC) in device manager, go to update driver and choose to not automatically
install it will give you a listing of alternatives one of which is the
multiprocessor option. I have not done this but also heard that it can be
changed in that manner.

YMMV - Good Luck,
Len
