If you do not want to install a new Windows guest, you may 1. Extract from %SYSTEMROOT%\ServicePackFiles\i386\sp2.cab halmacpi.dll ntkrnlmp.exe ntkrpamp.exe to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 2. cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 copy halmacpi.dll hal.dll copu ntkrnlmp.exe ntoskrnl.exe copy ntkrpamp.exe ntkrnlpa.exe 3. Reboot and let Windows do its magic. 4. Reboot when requested to do so. 5. Enjoy MP support. I did it once (XP SP2, 32 bit) and it worked okay - but I don't know whether it will always work that way. --cbe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
