Code: Select all

00:00:05.569908 HWACCM: No VT-x or AMD-V CPU extension found. Reason VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED

Enable hardware virtualization in the hosts bios

[jaha]

just checked in bios Virtualization is already Enabled
[BIOS->ADVANCED->VIRTUALIZATION ENABLED] hope i didn't misunderstand you

XP mode, Hyper-V? these will cause this too.

hmm
not sure what to say about this ( so far i didnt know about them )

XP mode
as far as i can see XP mode ( does not come on win7 i have to instal it -> meaning dont have it )

Hyper-V
as for Hyper-V no clue , found that im supposed to check Windows Control Panel-> Programs and Features-> Turn Windows features on or off.
Check Hyper-V and all platform and tools sub-components. But cant find anything in win features that ( as far as i can see ) i can enable regarding this subject

Your CPU supports VT-x, so either you are incorrect when you say you've enabled it in your BIOS, or else some other running software is already using it: another VM platform, Hyper-v, or a system level debugger. I'm afraid it's up to you to determine which, as we can't be there to examine your PC.

You might find it useful to download Microsoft's vt-x detection tool, to see what it says about your hosts capabilities.
