    Hello,

    I have a gateway 6860fx and can't find any bios update or any setting inside the bios that lets me turn on hardware virtualization. I'm trying to run XP Mode on windows 7 but am not getting anywhere.

    Any idea if there is a better bios I can install? Maybe one that isn't locked down as much.

    Thanks!
