How to enable visualization in AMD processors

i wanna run IE 6-7-8 on single Windows 7 i have

so you are going to install Windows 7 on virtual PC? As long as you have enough ram to run both machines you should not have a problem installing it.

No! You are misunderstanding me. I have windows 7 and read this what i am trying to do

That is very cool. I don't think you will have an issue. Go ahead and install virtual PC.

If it's not an option in the bios then it's possible compaq has locked the option, which is odd but not unheard of as most OEM's limit their bioses. But according to a simliar post(same problem different system) on hp's forum the option should be under security options-> os protection.

ok i read the post but how i locate it under bios. i am lost

see
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30396334/how-to-enable-hardware-vi.aspx
or what type of bios do you have

really i do not know what type of bios i have. it came with my laptop which is cpmpaq v3611au

the link you suggested did nothing in helping me find out what exactly i need to do ton make it work. should i install virtual machine and then and how i see my bios

is your bios up to date?

i think yes

well it should be in there somewhere I cannot remember where though have you tried hp support

yes, i did but they have not responded and that's why i posted issue here

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Notebooks

it may not be or ever be enabled

i found this line:

All AMD notebooks with the mobile processor "AMD Turion 64 X2" have AMD Virtualization (SVM), but do not advertise it. Use this link to find laptops that are being sold with the "AMD Turion 64 X2" processor: http://shop.amd.com/us-en/platforms/2.aspx

but mine is:
AMD 64 Athlon X2

When you enter the bios( either f2 or del key) go to the security options then in the security options section choose os protection and in there you should have the option to enable virtualization.

When you try to install virtual PC does it let you install or does it always promt you to test? Is it possible to install without running the test? I am going to try it on my old 32bit laptop later today so I can see what its asking for. What version of VPC are you installing?

Murgroup, the version of vpc that support xp mode in windows 7 requires hardware virtualization support.

well i will be installing the latest

The Athlon TK series do NOT appear to support virtualization: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Turion_microprocessors

I thin u read this:

i have AMD 64 Athlon X2

Specifically, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_Processors says the Tyler family of cpus (what you have) does NOT support AMD-V.  It shows that some other K8's do and some don't.  Saying you have an "AMD 64 Athlon X2" doesn't mean you don't have a TK-53 (Tyler family); that's what a Compaq v3611au Laptop has.

so u saying i do have support for this and that is FINAL

I am saying you don't have support for AMD-V, and yes, that's final.

Let me modify that - download, install and run CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php), and if it says you have a TK-53 and it doesn't have AMD-V, then that's final.

ok i made a screenshot and here what i get:

here it is
