On a Linux PC, this means that your computer's BIOS's 'virtualization technology' (VT-x/AMD-V/SVM) is not on.
I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests

Thanks very much scottgus1
Its very confusing for first starters but I'm sure it must be trying for the old familiars .
Thats given me a direction to head . Looks like a change of cpu needed.
