Not clear how to enable PAE

Post by zipzip6 »

I get this error message trying to run an Ubuntu guest on a windows 7 host machine:
A fatal error has occurred during virtual machine execution! The virtual machine will be powered off. Please copy the following error message using the clipboard to help diagnose the problem:

The guest is trying to switch to the PAE mode which is currently disabled by default in VirtualBox. PAE support can be enabled using the VM settings (General/Advanced).

Error ID: PAEmode
Severity: Fatal Error
However, I don't see such option on Setting->General->Advanced.

I'm using VB 4.2.10

Thanks.
