VT-x can normally be disabled enabled in your BIOS   When your PC is just starting up you should press DEL  or something  to get to the BIOS settings  There you ll find an option to enable VT-technology  or something

Are you sure your processor supports Intel Virtualization  VT-x  or AMD Virtualization  AMD-V    Here you can find Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool   http   www microsoft com downloads en details aspx FamilyID 0ee2a17f-8538-4619-8d1c-05d27e11adb2 amp displaylang en  which will tell you if your hardware supports VT-x   Alternatively you can find your processor here  http   ark intel com Default aspx  All AMD processors since 2006 supports Virtualization

You might try reducing your base memory under settings to around 3175MB and reduce your cores to 1  That should work given that your BIOS is set for virtualization  Use the f12 key  security  virtualization to make sure that it is enabled  If it doesn t say VT-x that is ok  it should say VT-d or the like
