Windows7x64 reports no support for hardware virtualization and no VT
hey guys,
Am a newbie on this forum.
I have the weirdest problem which I posted on notebookreview(dot)com: 137 views and not even a single reply.
Firstly system details:
System:> Alienware M17 R1
RAM:> 8GB
Processor:> Intel Core2 Duo Mobile T9600 @2.8 GHz
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with SP1 and all latest updates
Issue:
My Windows 7 Ultimate x64 says No hardware virtulization when it was yes previously.
I've tried using different tools and they all say no.
- havdetectiontool = no
- Securable = no
-VMware-guest64check-5.5.0-18463 = no
-Intel Processor identification Tool = no
But I remember seeing Yes for them before and VM Guestchecker also said this system is capable of VT under this VMWare product (VMWare Workstation 6.5). I had also installed 64bit OSs in a good few VMs on this system.
I then installed Windows7 x64 Ultimate only another harddisk on the same machine as it has 2 bays for HDD and guess what was the outcome when I ran the same above tools! They all gave YES!
I just can't figure out how that's possible. Now the new Win7 build is not fully patched but I am nearly certain that some Win7 updates have caused this issue but can't track down what it is and how to avoid it so that I can patch this build with all other latest patches.
Any help on this will bring me back to sanity
Thanks in advance
