Installing Server 2012 64bit guest issue

Hi All

I am trying to install Server 2012 64bit as a guest OS. I am running windows 7 pro 64 as my host machine with an Intel i5-2400.

I have enabled Virtualization in my BIOS, but I cannot select 64 bit from the drop down menu. After enabling the virtualization in the BIOS, I reinstalled VirtualBox but still not seeing 64bit in the drop down. I am running VB 4.3.10

If anyone could assist that would be great!

Disable Hyper-V or XP-mode in your host if you have it enabled.

I always thought they were add on installs. Anyway, I have checked and I have neither of them enabled.

I have resolved this, didnt think of disabling the stack overflow in the BIOS
