.. as its reporting the system configuration that it knows of. If you
installed it in a single-processor machine, the platform will only
remember that one processor.

There's a utility called uptomp.exe, used for "upping" the number
of processors under the NT platform.

The only other option looks like the backup/reinstall/restore route.
You'll have a fresher system, but it'll take a bit to get all the apps
just right.
