Hello Frank ! Maybe it would be more transparent to do it differently GUI-wise - I mean put the 64-bit guest option near the PAE/NX and ACPI settings - and make it available _only_ if hardware supports it, otherwise that checkbox must be grayed. It will solve a lot of confusion on the user's end. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
