    Pretty sure there is - but its not done just by entering the BIOS - that option isn't displayed.
    Search the Sony forum for Virtualization threads, there have been a few for different models.

    Edit: Used a second wrong quote.

    According to Intel, that processor has hardware virtualization support. If it's locked off, that sounds like a BIOS issue.

    It says "Locked ON"
    Question: How do I unlock it?
    I am using HP Compaq 8510w

    Panasonic CF-30 Toughbook. Running Intel L7500, I had it turned off in the BIOS, turned it on to see if SecurAble picked it up, which it did.

    Is there any +/- to keeping it on at this time? Such as does it slow or speed up anything on the puter? Heck, this might be the 1st time I have ever "Enabled" it.
