Comments on: How to enable virtualization on a Dell Optiplex 755 to run Hyper-V http://www.shnake.com/blog/?p=419 Technical help for Windows 2008, Exchange 2007 , Hyper-V, Sql 2005 clusters and a whole lot of other stuff Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:38:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Dan http://www.shnake.com/blog/?p=419&cpage=1#comment-5603 Dan Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:03:33 +0000 http://www.shnake.com/blog/?p=419#comment-5603 Just had to post a response to this thread. Thank you so much. This also solves the problem with Virtual Box. I was receiving a nonsense error that Visualization was not enabled in the BIOS (but it was). I also could not install a 64 bit OS inside a virtual machine. But this trick solved all my issues. I was using a Dell Optiplex 755. I agree that it doesn't make sense that you have to have Trusted Execution set to off, but it does work. Just had to post a response to this thread. Thank you so much.

This was the setting that was causing me problems:

Performance > Trusted Execution (set to Off)

I don’t understand why that needs to be off, but thanks for having the answer!

I should have. I turned on all settings under BIOS->Performance Section. Now the PC does not even get to the BIOS Menu. It is hanging. Is there a way to undo my bios changes? Please save me from the hung PC. Thanks Satheesh Hi
