Any way to force extra core during a current WU?

[peterjammo]

One of my laptops shutdown today, and when I rebooted it had lost a core. I've swapped in a different cpu, but the current wu only seems to be using 1 core. This is a core 2 duo which I usually have set to 2 cores in the advanced slot setting, but I think when I rebooted with a single core, FAH defaulted back to -1 and allocated 1 core. Setting it back to 2 in the advanced slot control shows 2 on the status, but only 1 core appears to be folding and the estimated ETA has tripled, taking it to well beyond timeout.

I seem to remember that adding cores only starts for the next wu, so I'm wondering if there's any way to force that without losing the wu. It's a big wu for the laptop, and eta is now 2.7 days, which seems like a waste. It was sitting on 1.2 days when the original cpu faulted.

It's not the hardware, as I've swapped the HDD into another known good laptop, and behaviour is the same.

Not that I am aware of, it should bump up with the next WU.
