Unable to start Genymotion virtual device, incompatible CPU

Question

The first time I ran Genymotion virtual device, it had worked. But when I tried running it today, I got this error message

What may have changed from the last time I used it? Will be grateful for any solutions that I can get. Thanks.

My Device Info: Dell XPS L502X Sandy Bridge motherboard Intel Core i5-2410M @2.30 GHz Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Answer 1

You need to turn virtualization on.

1. Reboot the notebook.
2. Instantly press F10 to enter BIOS settings (or F2 depending on your PC)
3. Check the settings and look for Intel Virtualization Technology (Aliases: Intel VT-x).
4. Turn it on then save and exit. You could use F10 to save and exit.

This will enable you to use virtualization and enable VirtualBox. Therefore your emulator will hopefully work.
