Check the bios there maybe an option to disable one of the cores. I know this is an option on several desktops using dual core cpu's so this laptop may have it also.

I have a customer with a Sony Vaio Dual Core laptop.<br />
On of their applications will not run correctly and they have been advised that it will not run on a dual core system. &nbsp;They have to turn off one of the processors<br />
