VirtualBox does not start the machine.

Hello,

since I’m fed up with WampServer, I noticed that some people use a Virtual Machine to mimic a server, but VirtualBox won't start the machine and tells me:
VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).
Error Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)

I’ve looked into it but I can’t resolve the issue; I hope someone has a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 44.0

    Hello,

    The error says that the VT-x protocol is not enabled in the BIOS. Therefore, you need to restart the computer, go into the BIOS, and enable the virtualization option.
