How do I fix PARKED cpu's in Windows 7 with i7920 processor?

First, let me say if it weren't for you guys in this forum I would have quit Premiere Elements 7 a long time ago. Keep up the good work. I don't know how you find the time to keep up with everything. I don't usually write to forums as I don't know what I'm doing. I try to wade through all the posts to find some kind of answers.
I was using a 1.73ghz core 2 duo Vista 32bit laptop to do movies. I take a lot of home video that nobody is going to watch. I didn't want to burn it up so I got a desktop i7920 2.66 w 12 gb memory (overkill) 2 1TB raid 1 drives Nvidia EN8400GS graphics Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. (Iwould have preferred 64 bit Vista as Windows 7 has a lot of glitches but 7 came with computer). I looked around the forums for anything on unbalanced cpu usage but didn't see what I was looking for. Maybe I missed and you can point me in the right direction.
The problem with my laptop was one core was always doing 50 to 100% and the other was loafing according to performance monitor. Affinity says both cores used. So I get the new machine and only two cores doing 50 to 100% of the work, 4 are parked most of the time and others are loafing @ 5-10%. The only way to get them all working is realtime. That kicks them all into gear, but defeats the reason for having the i7 processor.
Lo and behold I find that this PARKING is designed into Windows 7 and possibly Vista. I was looking forward to have a somewhat balanced cpu usage. I am pretty sure you guys have figured out how to shut off the parking business so there is a fairly balanced use of cpu's. I looked around on the internet and guys are doing all kinds of stuff. I don't want to screw up my desktop. My nephew is fairly computer literate and trys to help me. But windows 7 is a new ball game. I have never screwed around in the bios but if that is necessary we can get it figured out.
I was originally goiing to ask some PE7 questions but this Parking irritates me more than not knowing stuff about PE7. Forgive me for the way I have written this stuff but I am not familiar with forum etiquette. Thanks for your help.
P.S. I found this goofy thing on another post when you changed to this new forum about the mouse movement and cpu usage going up. True. If I spin my mouse around in an Adobe window the cpu usage goes up to 10-15% sometimes.

Nealeh,
Thanks for your suggestion. I read the other post you suggested and it seems Steve had the same frustration watching only 2 of the processors doing all the work. I dont think this is unique. Curious if XP has the same problem as Vista and Win 7.
I did play around with some video. Not as intense as you guys I am sure but I am doing basic video. Get it in and out the other end as a DVD. But I tried something that maybe you could try with your Quad and see what happens. I deal mostly with SD mpeg (.mpg) from my Sony camcorder. I opened up a new project in PE7 and imported 20+ files and then inserted each one to the timelline as quick as I could so they would get backed up waiting to get on the timeline. I got all of the cores to kick in but the total cpu usage was only 50%.
Also I have been converting old Disney movies from VHS through a Pyro AV Link 557. I like simple so I take the AVI and stuff it into Windows DVD Maker, one long 16 GB file or more. I select some text and push burn. Gives about 12 little motion memu buttons automatically. Process to start of DVD burn is 12-14 minutes. I burn them slow so I didn't count that time. I didn't do realtime but tried normal and high options. Didn't kick in all of the cores but the ones that did were parking in and out like crazy. I was not impressed with that. I would think once they kicked in they would stay in but not. Total CPU usage was still only 30-40%
I guess I will have to keep checking on the gamer sites. They seem to be working on the problem. World of Warcraft (WOW) has something built into the program if I read correctly where they can change the Processor Affinity Mask (CONFIG.wtf) but I have trouble following what they are talking about. I don't know if this can be found in Vista or Win7.
Thanks for your response. My graphics card is a GF8400GS. It was supposed to come with EN8400. This one is better?

How do I fix the GRAY boot-up screen with FLASHING QUESTION-mark FOLDER?

When I turn on the MacBook Pro laptop, I opened up the Safari Browser and its when the problem started. It was stuck on an loading infinite loop. I decided to force quit the application and/or turn off the mac by the Menu options, It did not work. So I did a "Hard" Shut-down and restarted the Mac, the Boot up screen stood gray for like a minute until the Flashing ? Folder icon showed up!.
My sister's laptop's warranty is expired so I wonder how can I fix it without having to spend too much money on a simple troubleshooting tip.
How can I download/create a boot-up Disk/Flash Drive so I can reset it to factory settings?
I cannot access the laptop because It's kind-of software bricked if you ask me. Also, I do not know how to check the Mac OS version outside of the "About Mac" menu. I do have another Mac which is a desktop computer with a CD drive.
I would appreciate some expertise on this issue a.s.a.p. Thank you!

Ok, now I am stuck:
Why does my Mac boot its OS from the Flash Drive instead of the INTERNAL HARD DRIVE???a
If I start up my MacBook Pro, It will have the flashing question mark folder UNLESS i plug in the OS-Boot flash drive. When I at the desktop screen and work on a program, When I unplug the Flash drive, THE OS WILL CRASH AS IF I TOOK it's soul (OS x Lion) out of the body (MacBook Pro Laptop)
this is frustrating because when I did the INTERNET RECOVERY, When I install OS x Lion, the Flash Drive only show up as an option as opposed to the HDD.
I cannot format the hard-drive in DISK UTILITY because it's grayed out. This is just frustating. I never had problems with PC Windows OS recovery but this (Mac OS).

Help please... how do I fix this/what do I do with this?

I used disk utility after a software update... After verifying and repairing the disk permissions, I verified the disk.
When I first verified the disk, it prompted me for my admin. password.
I got a little scared, so I verified it again. This time, it didn't ask for my password. It basically said:
*Verifying volume “Hardisk”*
*Checking HFS Plus volume.*
*Checking Extents Overflow file.*
*Checking Catalog file.*
*Checking multi-linked files.*
*Checking Catalog hierarchy.*
*Checking Extended Attributes file.*
*Checking volume bitmap.*
*Checking volume information.*
*Volume Header needs minor repair*
*The volume Hardisk needs to be repaired.*
*Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit*
*1 HFS volume checked*
*Volume needs repair*
I want to click the 'repair disk' button on disk utility but it's always disabled.
How do I fix this? Should I just say goodbye to my beloved iBook of 4 years???
I hope not... This laptop is like an extension of me... **sniff, sniff**
thanks so much!
P.S.
Sorry if this question has been asked before...

The disk should belong to you. How else can you repair the boot drive? How else can you reinstall the OS?
* Sigh... * Yeah, I know... I'm kind of screwed. But I'm hoping AppleJack (because it's free... and I don't want to pirate) can solve this. Anyways, my mom and I are thinking of updating to Leopard... Which means, new installer disks. :P
thanks so much for telling me what to do...
because if you didn't... well, let's not think about that. Happy holidays!

Registration key for the Mac and Windows OS are brought separately. Meaning you need to buy one for the mac and one for windows. These keys aren't cross platform...sorry.

How do I fix DFU missing driver in Windows 7?

Trying to update my iPhone 3gs from 4.2.1 to 5.0.1 (won't autoupdate through iTunes, so trying to follow instructions through DFU), but there aren't any drivers for my iPhone for Windows 7 64-bit and I cannot get it updated. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and re-downloading a fresh copy from the website, repeating the above but doing a disc cleanup inbetween uninstallation and reinstallation, and nothing. I have also tried different USB ports (6 out of 8 hardwired to the mainboard, 2 are in use for USB keyboard and mouse), no luck. Am using the cable that came with my iPhone, so it is an official Apple cable and not a cause of the problem. Also not using a USB hub either, so that is not the issue.

My sound is fine but my mic isnt working. how do i fix or figure out whats wrong with it

Title says it. I just did a clean wipe on my computer and now my mic isnt working on vent or skype, i dont know what is wrong with it. When i go to my sound hardware it says my external mic, IDT high def audio codec is enabled..

Same thing here. Must be update related. Who knows. Tried to go into ventrilo today and nada. Can hear people fine, microphone not picking. In my devices it says my Anvex Virtual Audio is "not available", same with the "IDT High Definition Audio Codec. Now I'm starting to get a little agitated. No diagnostics have come back with a ping on the issue. All settings seem fine. I HAVE AUDIO, as in my speakers are working so **bleep**.
I'm lost. No clue how to fix it. Guess I'm no longer raiding and that if this isn't working I'm going to go buy a Dell and rage beat this piece of **bleep** in the yard. That's right. I am taking 3 years of continual frustration out with HP errors, Vista complications and overall disatisfaction.
If you can fix this problem I will offer you pictures of fluffy kittens and circus acrobats/contortionists. Now fix my ventrilo. lol

How do I fix my iPhone 5 wifi problems with Airport Extreme?

I have a 5th Gen Airport Extreme (AE) and an all Mac household. We have iPhones, iPads and MacBooks. Ever since I got the Extreme, my iPhone 5 will stop responding on the internet. It still shows as connected, but nothing on the internet responds. The immediate solution is to turn wifi on and off on the phone and everything immediately starts working again.
I believe it's started happening on the iPad 3 as well, but it's hard to tell if I'm just resetting it due to paranoia on unresponsive sites. The AE is set to WPA2 Personal only, and both the 2 & 5ghz radios are set to automatic. Also it's a/b/g/n (Automatic).
I've tried restarting everything multiple times, reset the AE from scratch, and done "Reset Network Settings" on the phone. Nothing has been able to fix it permanently.
The irony is that I switched to the AE after a number of cheap wifi routers that didn't keep a signal. Now I never lose the signal but it refuses to actually show evidence of routing the packets.
Any and all help is much appreciated!

I have gone through 5 iPhone 5 replacements and nothing has helped with this issue. I just keep taking it back hoping for a good replacement. I finally got the attention of a district manager because of the amount of replacements I have had. Also, don't believe the Geniuses. They tried to say I had my AE 5th Gen setup wrong when I followed Apple's recommended settings. Then when I showed them the page, they said I was showing them a fake website. It was the Apple Support page. ***?!?

How do I fix broken song files in iTunes with songs transferred from my iPod to my computer?

Recently got a new computer but when I tried to transfer the files in My Music>iTunes to my new computer I realized that only about half the songs in my library have folders in the iTunes folder, even purchased songs (no idea why). I could download mp3s of every broken song and re-do it that way, but I would rather figure out a way to restore the files from my iPod and save a lot of time.
I enabled disk use on my iPod and dragged the folders from iPod_control>Music to a folder on my desktop but the songs are all assigned random four letter names. I don't know if iTunes will be able to detect the right file to restore each song if I just direct it to this folder (using the prompt when you try to play the song), not to mention that the random songs are broken up into 49 separate folders so I would just have to randomly guess which folder to direct it to (I have 1993 songs). If I drag all the files into iTunes will it just create doubles of each song? I don't care about play counts, I don't know if that's stored in the song file, but it's not a big deal for me to replace all the songs in iTunes with the files from my iPod as long as all the files work.

Thank you so much! I now know how to convert AIFF audio files to ACC files, and I can keep the original AIFF file! One other concern though -- how do I tell which is the bigger AIFF file and which is the new smaller ACC file? iTunes doesn't have an obvious place/window that tells me the audio file size. Is there a way to tell the two apart. It looks like it creates an identical file name, not even a "copy" extension or anything -- so it's impossible to tell them apart. Is there another secret here?

How do you fix colored lines on Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

I have had my Macbook Pro 13" Retina display for over a year now, I recently opened it up and there were several green and blue lines running down the screen. When I apply pressure to the bottom of the screen, where the black border is, some of the lines disappear. It is progressively getting worse. I don't believe it suffered any trauma. It is a problem with the screen, not the GPU or anything else. I was hoping there is a way to fix it without have to spend over $300 to get the screen replaced. It is not under warranty. Any advice?

That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store. So you can either purchase/download the iWork components from there, or, if you have access to another Mac with an optical drive, share the DVD from that across the network (System Preferences - Sharing - turn CD/DVD sharing on) and install that way.

HT3406 i bought a i-phone 4s from cex i reset the phone to factory setting ow i am stuck on activion lock and no way to contact preveious owner and cex wont take it back as i dont have the receipt anymore how can i fix this or get in contact with the prev

i wud be gratefull for any help
like i say i bought it from cex working then as soon as i rset it to factory setting it ask for the person email and password but cant return it as i havent got the recipet anymore

You can't fix this, called Activation Lock, & currently there is no way around it. With no way to contact the previous owner, & no way to get your money back, you own a useless paperweight.
Apple can't/won't help you.
