Windows Forum / Virtual PC / November 2007VPC 2007 Virtualization
I'm running VPC 2007 but the hardware virtualization is greyed out. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 6750 running on a Foxconn G33M-S mobo with Vista Business, HV is enabled in the bios but still no love, any idea's?? Thanks, Martin. Just wondering, is this the 64 bit version of Vista? > I'm running VPC 2007 but the hardware virtualization is greyed out.

No, 32 bit Vista... > Just wondering, is this the 64 bit version of Vista? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> Thanks, >> Martin. For one thing, you can only change that setting when the VM is totally shut down.

I'm aware of this, but... it's still grayed out. The only thing I can think of is the newer chipset motherboard and newer Core 2 Duo CPU is recognized by VPC. > For one thing, you can only change that setting when the VM is totally > shut down.

Is it enabled under File-->Options-->Hardware Virtualization? This needs to be enabled first. SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. Nope, it's grayed out... >>I'm running VPC 2007 but the hardware virtualization is greyed out.

SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. It's been enabled in the bios ever since I built the computer about a month ago. It's had many, many, many hard power cycles!!! >>Nope, it's grayed out... >> > After enabling HV in the BIOS did you do a hard power cycle? This looks like it should be working. Have you checked to see if there is an updated BIOS available for your motherboard?

Yep, I have the latest bios from the 18th of last month... I agree with you, it should be working, but it's not... :-( > This looks like it should be working.

I've noticed that VPC 2007 is reporting that my C2D 6750 is a Pentium III class CPU, which is probably why HV isn't working. What CPU is VPC seeing on other computers? > Yep, I have the latest bios from the 18th of last month... > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >>>>> >>>> After enabling HV in the BIOS did you do a hard power cycle? >I've noticed that VPC 2007 is reporting that my C2D 6750 is a Pentium III >class CPU, which is probably why HV isn't working. What CPU is VPC seeing on >other computers? No, that's not it. VPC doesn't report C2Ds. IIRC, there were no C2Ds when VPC was released. That is how my X6800 and q6600 are reported and HV works fine on both. The biggest issue with HV and VPC has been buggy BIOS implementations. It took Toshiba almost a year to get it worked out on some of their notebooks/tablets. SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. Well, just got a bios update for my Faxconn G33M-S mobo today and now the HV works fine... >>I've noticed that VPC 2007 is reporting that my C2D 6750 is a Pentium III >>class CPU, which is probably why HV isn't working.
