Reporting service unable to start after restoring on new hardware

Question

Hi,
I have a SQL server that the hardware is failing. As a solution we restored the image of the server on a multicore (more less new) server. The problem is that SQL 2000 cannot be started if number of CPUs is not in power of 2. I found an article that helped
me with a nice trick to load SQL just fine but the reporting service is having the same issue.
So I am looking for a solution on how to load the Reporting Services on this new hardware. Here is the log of the Report Server Service.

Hi,
Repair Reporting Services Features and see how it works.
To reinstall an existing component with new properties, reinstall the component with the new properties you need. If using the command prompt, when you select a component to be removed, and then select the same component to be installed,
Setup will remove the component first, then reinstall it with the new parameters specified.
The repair of an installation is achieved through a reinstallation of all existing components. When repairing an installation, all components are repaired. When using the command prompt, use the
REINSTALL="all" or REINSTALLMODE={
omus | amus } property. For more information on the description of the properties and their values, see
Installing Reporting Services from the Command Line.
