Hardware support for Virtualisation on Intel
NickD
I'm using as Host Vista 64 Ultimate and Virtual PC 2007 Beta (also the 64
bit version). The option for using hardware supported virtualisation is
available in the settings list of Virtual PC 2007, and I have enabled it, but
Virtual PC 2007 is teling me in the explanation text, that my computer
doesn't support hardware virtualisation.
I'm using an Intel Dual Core E6600 on ASUS P5B Deluxe motherboard, and I
have also activated the BIOS option "Vanderpool Technology" an the board.
Do I need a special driver for Vista 64 to enable the hardware
virtualisation for Virtual PC 2007?

No drivers are needed. I had a similar problem with my Toshiba. The
BIOS said VT was enabled, but there were bugs in the BIOS and were
then fixed by Toshiba. Make sure you have the latest BIOS version for
the MB and see if that resolves the issue.

Do you have UAC enabled? If so, go to:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\
Right click "Virtual PC.exe" and click properties. In the new window,
select the "Compatibility" tab, make sure that "Run this program as an
administrator" is selected, press OK, and then start Virtual PC (accepting
the dialog)
Check the hardware virtualization section in the config now

I run with UAC and this isn't necessary.

I have a machine that it is necessary on

Then you more than likely have a permissions issue somewhere.

And the fact that the OP's BIOS lists "Vanderpool" points
strongly to this being a BIOS issue.

I've changed the compatibility, so that Virtual PC.EXE is running now as an
administrator, but Virtual PC still persist to announce, that my system is
not supporting hardware virtualisation.
Perhaps it could be the BIOS. I'll check it with Asus.

I am running Vista x86 on a Core 2 Duo E6300, ASUS P5B Deluxe (BIOS 0910) -
same problem: Virtual PC 2007 6.0.142.0 says that there's no hardware
virtualization available on my computer..
Got a reply from ASUS yet?
Addition: I just checked and there's a brand new BIOS 1004 - looking at the
changelog it doesn't seem to have fixed anything concerning that issue, but I
will try now and let you know.
NickD
I've tried the BIOS 1004 but I don't see any difference concerning the
support of hardware virtualisation from Virtual PC 2007. Pay attention, there
is no way back to earlier BIOS versions once you installed 1004 (hence 1004
is stable, and I see no reason to want to go back to en earlier version).

Kai Mergel
thanks for your advice. No difference here either after installing the new
BIOS.
