Hi All,

I was running VMWare Workstaion 6.5.3 on my old Dell Latitude D630 (Windows 7 64bit) to create a 2008 R2 (64 bit) VM without issues.

Having now acquired a Precision M6500, I am unable to do this.

VMWare throws an error:

The host is VT-capable, but VT is not enabled. 

This is usually due to a BIOS/firmware problem. Please:
(1) Verify the BIOS/firmware settings enable VT mode.
(2) Power-cycle the host, if the BIOS/firmware VT settings were changed at boot.
(3) Power-cycle the host, if you have not done so since installing VMware Workstation.
(4) Update host BIOS/firmware to the latest version.
You have configured this virtual machine to use a 64-bit guest operating system. However, this host is not capable of running 64-bit virtual machines or this virtual machine has 64-bit support disabled.
For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152

I have checked in the BIOS and VT, VT for IO and XD are all enabled, yet I cannot use 64 bit virtualization.

Has anyone seen this before or know of any issues regarding it?
