    Run how? are you using some kind of virtualization (VirtualBox, vmware etc.)? Did you enable VT-x as described in How do I run a 64-bit guest in VirtualBox?

    You enable it in your computer's BIOS - see for example How do I enable hardware virtualization technology (VT-x) for use in Virtualbox?
