virtual machine performance may be degraded

I'm trying to install windows 7 with parallels 6 and I get this error:
"The virtual machine performance may be degraded because the hardware virtualization support is disabled on the host computer.
It is recommended to enable the hardware virtualization support in BIOS settings."

Then when I say to start it anyway, it gives me this error: PRL_ERR_OPERATION_FAILED

What must I do to be saved?

 

Hi, I have the same problem. Have you come across a solution?

Cheers

Hi, yeah I found the answer on another thread here: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=104323

Basically I went into the task manager and looked for an application that started with "plr_" and I quit it. Then I reinstalled parallels and then it worked.

 

Excellent - I will try it.

Thanks for your help.
