• How to turn on hardware virtualization on my computer?

  Hello community VMware,

  I have a question quite simple and intuitive. At the moment the computer I use is an Acer Aspire 7736-6080 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I'm using VMware Workstation 7.0

  I get an error in VMware saying that I need to enable hardware virtualization, but I have no idea on how to do it eventually. I discovered on the internet that I need to do it via the BIOS and it must be called virtualization technology (VT).  I have a BIOS from Phoenix Technologies and I went through the BIOS configuration utility and there it says nothing on VT or hardware virtualization. So I don't know how to solve the problem. I need someone to show me how to turn on VT or hardware for virtualization. If it's any help the CPU I used is Intel (r) Core 2 Duo T6600 CPU 2.20 GHz and Intel Centrino inside.

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Patrick Goralski

• Qosmio G50-136 - how to turn on hardware virtualization

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G50-136 with an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, which is supposed to be YES to virtualization technology (intel VT - x) by intel itself ([intel | http://ark.intel.com/products/35568/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-P8600-3M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB]).

  My problem is that no available through HWSetup bios settings refer to the hardware virtualization.
  So is it possible to activate it? I run mac os x 64 bit in vmware workstation.

  > My problem is that no available through HWSetup bios settings refer to the hardware virtualization.

  .and did you check the BIOS settings?
  To my knowledge, the VT can be enabled and disabled only in the BIOS.
  If these parameters is missing or not supported, you will not be able to turn the VT

• Pavilion DV2 1030ea - how to turn on hardware virtualization?

  Hi, the processor in my new laptop (that I've recently updated win7 for free through the free upgrade offer from HP!), but some software that I use for work only runs under XP so after installing the software "windows XP mode" from microsoft, it tells me that my hardware virtualization is disabled and must be enabled in the bios Unfortunately HP totally paralyze the phoenix bios removing all semblance of configurability and there is no option to turn it on, is what someone found out how?

  any info is much appreciated

  TIA

  OK I worked on how to do it myself, for anyone who is interested to do this first download a tool called symcmos.exe, starting back with a diskette of win98 or a freedos prepared the USB (to do and not just a windows command prompt) with symcmos.exe on the same diskette/usbstick and operating the prompt back ,

  symcmos-V2 - Lcmos - output.txt

  When it's finished restart in windows and then edit cmos - output.txt and find the line that reads

  (017D) [0000]

  and change it to show

  (017D) [0001]

  then save it as cmos - output1.txt on the disk/usbstick

  Now restart in dos with the diskette/usbstick drive and run

  symcmos-V2 - Ucmos - output1.txt

  Once it's initialization complete in windows and you will find that your hardware virtualization is now activated. Why HP in their wisdom decided to disable parts of the processors capabilities is beyond me! but there is always a way to turn these things lol.

  This mode is for a HP DV2-1030ea with F27 bios version. I may be able to help others with different laptop/bios versions so if you want your on virt material just after here

• Satellite Pro L500 - how to turn on hardware virtualization?

  Hello

  Please can someone tell me how to activate it? I have updated the BIOS to 1.9 and still can not see as an option? Secureable tells me that this cell phone it will work, but it's off!

  Thank you very much

  Hi nickcrush,

  Hardware virtualization isn't according to the version of the BIOS, the question is if your CPU support this feature.

  Satellite Pro L500 are equipped with different s CPU, so I recommend the Intel page. Check the details of your CPU if it takes support this feature or not.

  Thank you

  updating the BIOS will not help you because your chipset does not support vt. Thus, there is nothing you can do about it.

• Enabling hardware virtualization significantly slows the W530

  I enabled hardware virtualization in the Security tab in the BIOS of my new W530 that running Win 7 Pro 64 bit. This has slowed the machine so badly that windows is now open to a series of slow shakes.

  I would like to turn on hardware virtualization so I can run 64-bit OS in Virtual Box. Is there a solution to this performance problem? Thank you.

  I fixed the problem (or went) and I don't know how or why. I hate it when this happens. At least everything works now with VirtualBox. Thank you all.

  Hi, Carl:

  These new PC normally you press the ESC key to access a menu of options.

  Once on this screen, you should then be able to select the BIOS F10 Setup menu to access the BIOS.

  Then see if the BIOS of your PC has the same settings as on the picture below to find out where to turn VT

  

• Hardware virtualization grayed out, want to keep support of fingerprints

  ProBook 4530 s

  Win7Pro 64-bit

  ProtectTools SM v6.00.888

  Validity, fingerprint sensor fingerprint driver v4.3.117.0

  BIOS F.09 13/05/2011, I think that there is a new but is not the fix somewhere else?

  Hello

  what I want to do is turn on hardware virtualization and support the connection of fingerprints (which I think should HP ProtectTools).

  AFAIK the ProtectTools are responsible for partially locked the BIOS settings, which makes some gray and unclickable (including virtualization). I think that to uninstall HP Protecttools, made available the options greyed out, but removed the ability to connect on windows through fingerprints...

  So is it possible to get virtualization and prints digital connection work? Thanks for your time

  Solved

  I realized virtualization has been activated, even if it is grayed out

  So to activate, uninstall ProtectTools, enable it in the BIOS, reinstall ProtectTools.

• Dell OptiPlex 960 - hardware virtualization

  I am trying to install ESXi on a Dell OptiPlex 960 5.5, but I get an error message: "HARDWARE_VIRTUALIZATION WARNING: hardware virtualization is not a characteristic of the CPU, or is not enabled in the BIOS.  However, I believe that it is a feature of the CPU and is enabled in the BIOS.  Here's my hardware information.  Any idea would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  Intel Processor ID utility reports the following:

  Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3 .00GHz

  Supports Intel virtualization technology

  Does NOT support Intel VT - x with Extended Page Tables.

  Intel site reports, the UC DO take support VT - x.

  ARK | Intel & amp; #174; Core™ 2 Duo processor E8400 (3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB, 6 MB Cache)

  BIOS is up to date on the A18

  Intel virtualization technology is enabled in the BIOS.

  Intel VT for direct i/o is enabled in the BIOS

  Intel Trusted Execution Technology is enabled in the BIOS

  The TPM secure security is enabled in the BIOS

  VT. Reports for the two processors

  VT is disabled in the control of the MSR function!

  I can tell you with certainty if it works, but I would say that you ensure "VT - x" as well as "Execute Disable" are both enabled, and the other option you mentioned (VT - d, execution of trust, TPM) are disabled.

  After you change these settings, make sure you feed the cycle (power/power on) the PC after you have saved the settings. A simple reboot is usually not enough.

• Mode under Windows 7 on T400 XP, virtualization CPU not activated (but is it really) error

  I installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on my T400 this week. I'm trying to get the XP VM mode to run because the VPN for work are not yet compatible with Windows 7. When you use the tool to check the compatibility of the T400 with new Microsoft's virtual machine software it says that hardware virtualization is not enabled. According to microsofts help page which means that the laptop is compatible but the CPU virtualization must be enabled in the bios. I followed the instructions to enable it, but there was no change. I went into the bios to check & of course, it's on. I installed XP mode vm & VM software, but that he would not be executed indicating the problem above.

  Everybody run in this or know how fix/get around it?

  Thank you

  Chad

  I found the answer in another forum. Apparently just restart is not enough to make the switch is functioning properly. The computer must be stopped & left for a few seconds, then started for each change in CPU virtualization to apply.

  So, I disabled it again. It off for a few seconds. Re-enabled, disabled for a few seconds. Then he worked after windows starts.

  See you soon,.
