I'm getting this error while loading an image from a Oracle virtual box. How can I fix it? I installed virtual box 4.3.12 via a remote desktop connection to a Windows 7 64-bit, 32G RAM computer.
I have checked the Intel Visualization Setting, it says yes to hardware visualization.
I saw this questions up online looks like the same issue. But I am using remote desktop control so I would not be able to change the setting at the restart page. I will be automatically logged off when I restart the this computer.
VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED when starting an image from Oracle virtual box
if the machine does not require VT-x to work, changing the machine settings can help:
Try to change setting HardwareVirtEx in your virtual machine config file (.vbox).
It's a CPU section/ Looks like this
<Hardware version="2">
<CPU count="1" hotplug="false">
<HardwareVirtEx enabled="false"/>
<HardwareVirtExNestedPaging enabled="true"/>
<HardwareVirtExVPID enabled="true"/>
<HardwareVirtExUX enabled="true"/>
<PAE enabled="false"/>
<HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="true"/>
<HardwareVirtForce enabled="false"/>
</CPU>

this can also be set using VBoxManage using:
VBoxManage.exe modifyvm <machine name> --hwvirtex off
or by using the API:
void setHWVirtExProperty(HWVirtExPropertyType property, boolean value)
