XPS 1640 - VMWare Problem with VT

so, i've tested different things without any success. (update bios, use an other vmware version, test VT with ohter tool (none found with an useful error)

still spend a lot of money and nothing to work with.... well, i'll try it and try it, and perhaps someone from dell can help me out.

no news at all... *push*

Hey I just updated from a05 bios to a06 and it turned virt off so I re-enabled and booted then tried to start the 64 bit os and it gripped about vt not being on.

suggested that I power cylce if I just changed it while booting, power cycled and it works again, anyway it must have been on.

I have the same 1640 with bios enabled and same 64 bit vmware 6.5.2.

I installed a 64 bit win 7 RC fine on mine.

Selected 2 CPU in vmware.

I am running in automatic mode in the vm settings though.

Are you selecting a specific setting in the VM?

Maybe mine isnt using it and I just dont know it.

also, can you tell me if yours resumes after a suspend with the lcd brightness all the way up even though you have it set for dim when on DC?

Hi,

I've tested Win2003 64bit and Vista Ultimate 64bit plain install and a working Acronis Image of an Vista Ultimate 64bit - nothing is working. I allways get the error, that i have to activate the VT in Bios. (and some blue-screens)

The bios is allready A06 and the settings are double checked. ;-)

So, thanks for your ideas, but it seems that i need an other one.

€:  yes, i do have the same behaviour with the brigtness. somethimes it also happens that the lcd is not turning itself off when it should ("Trun off monitor => After 10 min") when the notebook is running on batterie.

Hi all I HAd the same problem with VMware and microsoft vitual machine so I tried Virtual Box .WOrks perfectly fine for me on Vista X64. Now I have got Win 7 X64 , and tried Vmware x86 ,worked fine , I will try the X64 version of Vmware ansd let you know if it works with Win7.

My Vmware is just working fine right after i uninstalled the latest VMware, and installed version 5.5.5 .

This is a version we also se at our company, we dont get any problems.
