queueuserworkitem

I have a program that uses:

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(FireAttackProc), fireResult);

On Windows7 and Vista it works fine.

When I try to run it on XP the result is a bit different from the others.

I was just wondering in order to execute QueueUserWorkItem properly do I need a dual CPU system?

The XP I tried to test on had .Net 3.5 installed.

Inputs most welcome.

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
