    Hello,

    I have a Lenovo 3000 V100 Laptop running Vista, I have installed VMWare on it in order to install guest operating systems, I have got an error message from the VMWare saying that VT support is disabled on my machine, prevnting it from running.

    I would like to know - is there any way to enable the VT flag in the bios of my laptop? or is it just disabled with no possibilty to enable it?

    Thanks.

    Which processor is it running? If it's the T5200/5300/5500 then there's no chance of running VMware. These processors don't support virtualisation.

    T5600 should support VT technology!

    The Bios needs to support it too. Many laptops dont have bios support for IVT. If it is not in the bios settings then the bios doesnt support it.
