How to setup VBox and Run Linux on your Windows System

Sounds like you selected the wrong os install. I always select "other 64bit" and have never had an issue.

32 bit is the only options it showed.

It's best to delete the machine (including all files, it will ask you this) and start fresh. As for only 32 bit version available, boot into BIOS and make sure you have virtualization enabled.

I will delete the machine and try again. Virtualization was the first thing I changed in the bios before I started; after rebooting I even went back to the bios to make sure it took.

I'll give it all another try.

Edit: Now it's giving my a 64 bit choice... I hate it when a computer makes me look stupid. lol

Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit boinc installed?

Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit boinc installed?

I haven't gotten that far yet.
