hello i have been reading in the forum about how to fix the vtx diable in bios setting.
i have virtualization enable in the bios. but i still cannot run my win7 vdi file.
this machine used to run it with no errors and then somehow stopped.
i seen a post about avg blocking VB and have uninstalled avg protection and avg firewall
rebooted and reinstalled VB 6.1 latest version
rebooted again and still cannot run my VDI
attachted is the log file
i need to get back in to the vdi to run a older program which will not run in windows 10
i am going to download the vdi and try to run it on another computer and see if i can get into it
but i would like for it to open in the first machine as its at my office
thanks for any help
robert

If there are more parts, whack the whole shebang. Try Virtualbox under Windows Defender only.

If that doesn't work:

Try 6.1.26 https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_6_1

If you cannot find what is blocking access to hardware virtualization, you could try VirtualBox version 6.0.24 . It is no longer supported but it should work. Version 6.0 did not require hardware virtualization in the host PC.
