    The situation is that your laptop does not support virtualization, but you are trying to enable virtualization.

    You'll have to find a virtual machine software that does not require virtualization hardware. Try something like VMLite, etc.

    Having a BIOS update will not solve your problem, unless it specifically says it will enable virtualization. Also, I believe your processor doesn't have virtualization.

    VirtualBox does not need hardware virtualization support - at the moment I am running it on my 5yrs old desktop with XP as host OS.

    For Windows Virtual PC (version without XP mode, works on Win7 Home editions also), there is a patch available that disables the hardware virtualization requirement. MS virtual PC 2007 doesn't need hardware virtualization support either.
