4.3.14 won't create 64 bit Linux VMs

Post by Buhlz_I »

I have VB 4.3.14 installed on a home PC (Dell XPS). When I attempt to create new Linux VM, the available options do not include any 64 bit Linux platforms. On a home laptop (Dell), it will. Ideas? See pic

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.
