I can't run Windows 8 Pro. When I open the VM I get the error - VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.

I have given it 1023 Mb of ram and 88GB HDD space but still won't boot. Windows 7 Starter, Linux and Windows XP works without any problem.:shock:

Hi Motion and Welcome to SevenForums,

Have you checked that you have got virtualisation enabled in your BIOS?
