server admin removed a cpu from a two-processor system to get a device driver to work. He replaced hal.dll but didn't completely reload the OS. The system is running on one cpu, but is it enough to just replace hal?

Might want to do the reverse of this single to multi procedure.

I believe NT would have run just fine on the multiprocessor hal using a single processor. If you ever noticed install starts with the multiprocessor hal.

So he gave up cpu processing power for a device driver. Tough compromise.
