virtualbox.org

Hi all... new here. I've been playing with VB through a couple of versions off on and on for a few months now. Just this week I loaded VB3.2.6 on my Lenovo R61 laptop (Intel Core Duo T7300). Then I installed my retail copies of Windows XP and Windows 7 as guest operating systems. Ran MS update and all is good.
This morning I was poking around in my computer's BIOS and discovered the cpu VT was turned off! Naturally I enabled VT but my question is: Do I need to reinstall VBox to take advantage of the hardware virtualization technology? What about the guest OS's?
Host os is Crunchbang Linux 9.04 (minimalist Ubuntu derivative) and very stable.
Thanks.

Vt-x should be available as soon as its switched on, however there are some enableing issues, see the forum FAQ what to do about that.

hardwarebum: You can see if VT is active or not.

Start VM->VM window will open
Mouse roll-over the "V" icon on the status bar of the VM window.

Only when it's enabled in VM settings. This can only be done if it's properly detected. In fact, if it isn't detected, you won't even see the option (at least, I don't on my non-AMD-V system.

OK and thanks to all replies. Seems like I have VT working as it should.
