While starting VM on 64 bit, got following error -
This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible.
This host is VT-capable, but VT is disabled.
VT might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.
(1) Verify that the BIOS settings enable VT and disable 'trusted execution.'
(2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS settings have been changed.
(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Player.
(4) Update the host's BIOS to the latest version.
For more detailed information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=152.
Continue without 64-bit support?
Resoulution -
We are still trying to determine what causes this problem on some systems. In the meantime, as a workaround, please add the following line to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini:
hv.assumeEnabled = TRUE
Note that ProgramData is a hidden folder.
new error -
*** VMware Player internal monitor error ***
vcpu-0:VT is disabled and locked on this CPU.
Solution -
Go to BIOS setup-
- Restore CMOS factory default setting
- Make sure to enable Virtulization Technology
- Cold boot the system
Issue solved ... :)
