On the misconfiguration settings I clicked on the boot section, after that I changed my computer to run on 1 processor instead of 2. My laptop is quad core so has four, however now it is only showing I have one processor and cannot change it back. my laptop is seriously struggling and will not do much, any idea's to be able to change it back?
thanks
