Virtual Box doesn't recognize 64-bit host

[Bokonen]

Windows 7 problem.

I have 64-bit Win7 loaded on my laptop. Installed V/B and installed the extention kit.

Downloaded and configured a 64-bit Developer template from OTN.

When I try to start the server I get errors about runnning a 64-bit Linux client on a 32-bit host.

1) 64-bit guests need hardware-virtualzation enabled in the hosts bios.
2) when creating the 64-bit guest you must select 64-bit in General -> Basic -> version.
3) If running Windows as host you must make sure hyper-v or xp mode is not enabled on the host. MS does not play well and wants it all.

Thanks

My bios is too old (five years is old) to have that setting. I've looked.
