Vista only running one of my cores

I had this problem before, but I dont remember how I fixed it. I recently reinstalled vista, and now i'm getting it again, but I cant seem to figure it out. Here's an image of what i'm getting that will hopefully help diagnose the issue.

Open the Task Manager and check the affinity of Explorer. It should be showing as using Core 1 and Core 2.

I messed around with everything I knew to mess around with and its showing 2.1ghz again like it should. I wish I knew exactly what I did though so I could fix it if it comes up again..

But next time, if there is one, I'll be sure to check that out and see if that fixes it.

Thanks =)
