I have a computer with Core 2 Duo E8400 processor and ASUS P5QL-E mainboard. Recently I wanted to install XP Mode for Win 7 but I cannot run it because I'm getting an error that hardware virtualization is not enabled for my processor.
According to this my processor support VT and I checked that VT is enabled in motherboard's BIOS. But XP Mode still won't start.
I even downloaded Intel Processor Identification Utility and it also shows me that VT is off. Does anyone know how to turn it on?

It is highly possible that your BIOS has not been updated to the latest version yet - thus the missing support for VT on your E8400.
The latest version of your BIOS (v1005) can be found here (you will to navigate to the Supported CPUs page). Please update your BIOS and see if VT turns on for you.
