2 Virtual Processors option greyed out in Settings

Title says it all - I'm running Fusion 1.0 with XP Pro guest OS on a MBPro and am getting no option to switch to two processors. Does XP Pro not support it or did I mess up something else? I installed XP Pro SP2 straight from the CD.

You can't change the processor setting (and most others) if the VM is running or suspended. Shut down the VM first.

You can't change these settings unless the guest is shut down. Are you sure the guest OS is not only suspended?

Thanks! I should have add it was probably a stupid question, in fact I guess it was so stupid because I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone had asked it before!
