VMware has a cpu check util on their site. However, there are certain BIOS setting requirements as well which might be your current problem. They have a support doc on running 64 bit guests that says what is required. -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry

I have two 64 bit machines in my home lab, one running ESXi and one running Vmware Server. Neither will run a 64 guest so I'm looking to upgrade to do some testing with 2008 R2. Any ideas? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
