Hi everyone Smile

Since I installed win7 x64 on my acer extensa 5630Z I can't run any 64bit virtualization on vmware, it always says that my cpu don't support intel-vt, but I know that it cans because it was "activated" on winxp x64 and it works on ubuntu 64bit :/
My CPU is intel Pentium Dual (laptop) T3400 @2.17Ghz*2
I'm usiing Win7 Build 7600 64 bit Ultimate
Can anyone tell me how to "enable" intel-vt on my system? Sad

thanks for help Smile

Intel's page (under Pentium Mobile) lists the T3200, T3400, similar as not having VT-x support.
What are you trying to do exactly?

Probably trying to run something in a Windows XP virtual machine in Windows 7.

Your cpu doesn't even have vt support, post a screenshot of cpuz

Windows XP and Ubuntu 64bit does not require you to have VT in order to run a 64bit guest OS. And since it does not it made you think you got a feature that you never really have.

And according to the VMware websites it states,

In order to run a 64bit guest OS under VMware Workstation 7 you are required to get a CPU that supports hardware virtualization.
The CPU you have does not support hardware virtualization.

And post a screenshot of your system information

Neither require VT to run a 64bit guest os, your processor simply has to have 64bit process, also why would one want to have a 64bit os in a virtual machine. If anything run a 64bit main OS and then install a virtual machine with a 32bit OS. Or if your dual booting 32bit and 64bit that also does not require a VT extension on the cpu.

VT = virtual technology. You will need VT to only run operating systems within another operating system, generally referred as host and guest OS.

Running the host (what you boot into) does not require VT, where if you want to run another OS (guest) in MS Virtual PC, VMware or VirtualBox you will need it.

But you dont need VT to run a virtual machine though.

Virtualization support by a processor is just for increased performance in a VM, not necessary to run one. OP, I recommend you use VirtualBox. It's free (and has an open-source version). Devs claim that their software is so good VT-x might aversely affect performance, and that seems to be pretty true..

I learned that now (sry for my bad english btw)
but you're saying I DON'T need vt but when I'm trying to run a 64bit guest system it says it won't work without vt... but I'm just getting this error message on win7 host, and now I'm a little confused Shocked
