I have a Dell E6400 – running Windows 7. I am using VMware Workstation 6.5 – trying to create a Debian VM. Upon trying to install the 64-bit version of it, it said:
this host is vt-capable but vt is not enabled
I've now enabled virtualization in my BIOS, restarted (cold restart – even pulled the battery out!) But it still says it's not enabled.
I've updated to the latest BIOS, tried again – BIOS said it's enabled, VMware says it's not!
What can I do?

There is a small utility that will tell you if you are ready for 64-bit VMware called SecurAble. With both texts saying YES, you should be set for 64-bit.
If it still won't work, then try and post the exact computer model and motherboard type, someone might lead you on the right track.
