Got the same error message on 3 computers (acceleration page)

Post by rapattack »

Dear,

I'm trying to virtualize a copy of windows 98 SE on windows 10.

So when I try to load the iso of win 98 SE I get the following error message: System: acceleration page: hardware virtualization is enabled but the host doesn't support this.

However:
- I have enabled all virtualization settings in PC BIOS (vt-x etc. is enabled)
- I can't 'disable' the virtualization because the OK button stays grayed out.

I already looked for a solution, but didn't find it.

Please help me.

Kind regards!

if you are using VirtualBox 6.1, you need hardware virtualization enabled in the host. If it is enabled in the BIOS but you still see that message, something running on your machine is pr4eventing VirtualBox from using it. See this post.
