Re: Can you help me , please ?

Crodino,

As I pointed out in my first post VT technology is only applicable to XP
Mode in Windows 7 and, as this is a separate download for Windows 7 it has
nothing to do with the issue. So what you are saying is that Windows 7 32
Bit 'will' install on Virtual Box but the 64 Bit version of Windows 7 'will
not'?

I have read posts where people have said that Virtualbox doesn't support
Windows 7, built we have both installed Windows 7 on Virtualbox so that is
somewhat of a myth. Virtualbox is also 32 Bit and 64 Bit compliant so I'm
puzzled as to why the 64 Bit version will not install, it certainly hasn't
anything to do with your processor not having VT technology.

Let me download the 64 Bit version from myself and try installing it on
Virtualbox and see what happens. Incidentally my machine also does not
support VT.
