Upgrade your hardware to support HAV.

Other than that, I am not willing to explain this more. Reason can be found for instance here.

From your screenshot, I see that you have downloaded VMWare Player....not the workstation product. The VMWare Player application is the free application...while workstation is a paid for product.

I'll tell you right up front..even if you get OSX working, it's so slow that it's pretty much unusable. In other words..I really wouldn't waste my time trying to get it to work.

Look into Hackintosh. Not going to give you any advice as this violates the EULA and is considered piracy.

But remember, in the end, I suggested not wasting the time going down this path. I'm sure you will find in the end it's a ton of work for such a small reward.

If you want to really run OSX, just do yourself a favor and buy a MAC.

I know that you can run Windows XP Mode without having the Hardware Virtualiztion because they came out with software driven, but if your planning on running VMware... You may have no choice, but to have hard ware that supports virtualization.

You could run Tiger on 32-bit last I checked. Leopard and Snow Leopard require the hardware assisted virtualization as there are 64-bit components within those versions of Mac OS X. I understand that Apple is allowing VMware to develop a way to run Mac OS X Server virtualized but I don't know if they require a Mac as a pre-requisite for that.

Checking your CPU, it seems it should support hardware assisted virtualization and you need to enable it in the BIOS as the earlier post where you showed the results you got from the scanner from Microsoft. Depending on your motherboard, the process to enable it differs but essentials you would be looking that refers to Hardware Vt or AMD-V or something like that. If you provide the model of the motherboard you have or the PC you have, we may be able to tell you how to enable this in the BIOS.

What model of Acer PC do you have and is it a desktop or laptop? I was thinking this was a white box build but if it's from a major manufacturer, that may be the reason why hardware virtualization is not available as usually the BIOS provided by one of the top tier manufacturers is somewhat limited.

Without VT - there is no (satisfactory) way to get it to work. I tried many workarounds to get OSX guest running on my non VT-X Acer machine and bottom line is it just doesn't work.

But your CPU supports virtualization... and, at work, on my office Windows 7 machine with VT-x enabled, I have a Hackintosh OSX running in VirtualBox very successfully;) It works really good, so good in fact that I was suprised how much time Iactually spend on it! I have many Mac specific programs installed, including Office for Mac 2008 and Adobe CS5.

So, if you can get the VT enabled in your BIOS, you should be able to achieve what you are looking for.
