Go to Settings/Control Panel/ Administrative Tools/ Computer
Management/Device manager/Computer/Properties/Update Driver/Next/ Display a
list of the known drivers for this device/ and you should have MPS
Uniprocessor PC showing

Click on Show all hardware of this device class and choose MPS
Multiprocessor PC, OK to everything and reboot and all should be fine.

If your PC is showing up as an ACPI Uniprocessor you may have problems
changing I have not done this one.

Hope this helps, basically you are changing a driver.
