I have Windows XP Pro on a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and when I tried to install the 64 version of Virtualbox it tells me that my machine is 32bit. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

Virtualbox doesn't recognize my AMD64

If you read the website and the manual, then you would have known that you cannot install a 64 bit Guest system. If you want to install a 64 bit version of a program, then you need to run a 64 bit OS. The OS versions talk a different language compared to each other. You either need to run XP x64, or just install VB x86 version.
