Only half the cores/processors being used in bootcamp?

I have two mac pro computers that are both running bootcamp with Win 7 and both are giving me the same problem. One mac pro was purchased in 2011 and the other is early 2008.
When I run Cinibench on both these machines I find that only half the cores and processors are being used, more than doubling the render time for the same scenes run in OS X 10.6
I followed all the online installation guides and have had few problems with running all the programmes I use apart from Studio Max.  Studio Max runs perfectly well on these computers but like I say only uses half the processing power that should be available.
Does anyone have any suggestions for where I might have gone wrong with the installation or what I can do to rectify this problem.  Any suggestions would be most welcome
Thanks in advance

I might be wrong, very wrong but I believe you might be able to upgrade from within Windows7. Look for the Anytime Upgrade and you might be able to buy and install within the Win 7 environment.
You are wrong:

If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or vice versa, you'll need to back up your files and choose the Custom option during Windows 7 installation. Then, you'll need to restore your files and reinstall your programs. For more information about performing a custom installation, see Installing and reinstalling Windows 7.

  • Parallelism in oracle using only one dual-core processor

    Hi, is usefull or could i use parallel execution in oracle using only one dual core processor?
    Can someone explain me why?

    Hi
    To take advantage of parallel processing you need enough resources (mainly CPU and I/O). If you run serially and the bottleneck is the CPU, then parallel processing might help. On the contrary, if the bottleneck is located in the I/O sub-system, throwing more CPU to it would not make things better. So, it's a question of balance between the CPU and I/O resources you have.

  • [HTML]SignTool Error: The file is being used by another process.

    Hello,
    I receive this error from building a JavaScript app on a build server:
    SignTool Error: The file is being used by another process.
    This reproduced when building on local machine, and goes away after building again. However, our company uses gated builds so the first failure will stop an entire 2.1 hour build and I can't ship the product.
    The instruction to launch SignTool is located in external files so I can't disable it, run it twice, or run it in a while loop until succeeds, ignoring failures. I have to get it to work right the first time. I looked on MSDN, and there are other people
    who had this problem and never solved it.

    The only clue I have is our solution having build configurations that aren't called "Debug" and "Release", which have been cloned from Debug/Release and have WinRT apps building. If the build script for WinRT depends on anything being
    called "Debug" and "Release" it wouldn't work correctly.
    In any case, there is no documentation for SignTool that mentions this error - how do I fix it?

    Hi TripleRectified,
    >> If the build script for WinRT depends on anything being called "Debug" and "Release" it wouldn't work correctly
    What's you version of Visual Studio, on my side, in the Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, I created a new configuration(Copy Settings from "Debug") to build a WINJS project, but I can't see the exception you mentioned.
    >>This reproduced when building on local machine, and goes away after building again
    Does it happen on all local machines? We need to exclude environment facts first, for example: Tool, OS etc.

  • Adding a tint swatch of a color if the tint is being used? [JS][CS5]

    Hey there, I'm totally new to this scripting stuff and I've already pieced together a few scripts and much to my surprise it seems to be working!
    There is one thing I cannot find out how to do, though.  I think it would be possible.  Anyways, I'm looking for a script that will add a tint swatch of a color if the tint is being used.  So, say I have color1 in my swatches that is being used in the document and also in the document a 25% tint of color1 is being used.  I need the 25% tint to be made into a swatch as well.
    Is there a simple way to have a script "read" the document for unused tints and add them as a swatch?
    This is what I have pieced together for my script so far.  It is basically all from these two threads.

    Rich Black has a nice pop for some things. In inkjet printing that doesn't reseperate blacks into a CMYK build on their own I generally like to set blacks as rich when printing to any substrate that isn't paper to reduced appearance of banding which most inkjets produce.
    Apparently adding only a bit of cyan isn't uncommon, though I generally have been accustomed to using a full CMYK black to build mine. Some use a 50-50-50-100 build, but I generally do a 50-40-40-100 to keep ink density a bit lower and it creates the same effect.
    I think you don't want to generally go over 280% ink density on much coverage when printing digitally on toner based copiers and digital presses, as the fusers can't get that much ink to adhere on coated stocks without a bit of flaking. Toner is supposedly a bit richer than printer inks, but I think largely the reason is inability for fusers to get hot enough to fuse without affecting the stock with either page curl or flat out charring coated stocks.
    If you are sending something out to a printer you have no control over (i.e. can't fire them in the case of a magazine or trade pub) and they have poor registration it is best to just give them straight black, as out of register rich black looks powerful bad.

  • Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used

    Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used religiously no longer exist, but clicking on an address in a website now directs users to a poor Google Maps interface. I am surprised to see such a effortless update from a company squatting on the resources to make a change its customers are asking for.

    varjak paw wrote:
    Apple has documented an API to provide add-ons to the Maps app in the iOS 6 SDK, so that such add-ons are possible is absolutely not a guess that the capability is there. As to whether someone will indeed develop an add-on for any given transit system, that would be a guess, yes, but at a couple of companies at least have already announced plans to do so.
    In select cities and areas - so now I'm going from being able to supply this information myself to either wait for someone to supply an app or write an app myself... This is not feature progression but feature regression. Adding transit times or a specific overlay should not have to be something you need to do through code via an API. So no dice... Your guess that we will see better transit information is just that - a guess, nothing else.
    If you don't agree with that editorial, you are certainly free to do so. I provided the link as food for thought for those who have been questioning Apples' decision to drop Google's maps from iOS. Whether or not you agree with Brad's analysis or that of anyone else is up to you.
    But on that central issue the editorial fails - it's is not the true tale of why Apple made their move and therefore useless even as "food for thought" (because it's guesswork).

    Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page.  (All the existing templates were 1 page)
    But it worked, saving me some steps.  When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
    Then tried to save it but  could not because it was locked.  I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
    to find it, it was not there.  The Finder could not find it either.
    So I start over again.
    I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new 
    original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
    I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again.  I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
    The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up  "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving.  Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
    I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
    clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
    and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
    It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

  • Bought a Mac Mini.  at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function.  Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it.  Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.  First and last Mac for me. But can I get something for the junk?

    I have pulled it out of the box and put 2 Mac approved mem sticks in it to boost it to 8 Gigs mem and it still locks up and freazes..  So many people told me Mac was the way to go...  1500 dollers could have bought me a great pc laptop.  Now I have a wirless mouse keyboard and a mac mini (aka Brick) that allowed me to donate money to a cause that is helping buildings and companies out side of the US.  While I have junk..  It's still under warranty and I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.  Again.. locks up and does nothing.  What can I do with this?  Toss it in the trash?  Any info on what I might do with it.. Please help!

    It would be most helpful if you updated your system information:
    Please reconcile the following
    at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function. Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it. Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.
    ... I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.
    If your Mini is anything less than six months old it would be running Lion, not 10.6.1, nor would it have been necessary to "reinstall the OS". Any help that anyone can provide is predicated on your system configuration so it's important.
    If you are running Lion then boot your Mini while holding the D key. This will load Apple Hardware Test which will enable you to test your memory. "Mac approved" memory is sort of vague, and even memory that is allegedly designed to meet your Mini's specification may fail. There few reputable memory vendors.
    "Apple installed" memory is more meaningful, and indicates Apple has tested it and guarantees its function. Otherwise all bets are off with a claim of "Mac approved". You will have to verify that yourself with Apple Hardware Test.
    If your Mini was running, or ever ran OS 10.6.1 for that matter, it is close to three years old.
    You must clear up these uncertainties before anyone can help.

    I have found that complicated document structures causes Word to split the document into parts, but I've always gotten the whole thing, in multiple documents.

  • Why is the template not being used when dynamic page called ?

    You can alter the generated package body to include the following function in the header and footer sections.
    Header:
    PORTAL.wwv_headings.show_header(
    p_template => 'PUBLIC.TEMPLATE_3',
    p_heading => 'Dynamic Page',
    p_help_link => 'PORTAL_DEMO.EXAMPLE_DYNAMIC_PAGE.help',
    p_about_link => 'PORTAL_DEMO.EXAMPLE_DYNAMIC_PAGE.about');
    Footer:
    PORTAL.wwv_headings.show_footer(
    p_template => 'PUBLIC.TEMPLATE_3',
    p_help_link => 'PORTAL_DEMO.EXAMPLE_DYNAMIC_PAGE.help');
    where
    <PORTAL_DEMO> indicates application schema
    <PORTAL> indicates the name of the portal (normally this will be portal30 by default).

    I purchased an album but only half the songs will download. How do I get the other half to download?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
