Hardware Visualisation on MacBook Pro 2010?

[EddieLeonard]

Hi, I am trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my late 2010 MacBook Pro 15" in Parallels and keep getting this error message:

http://t.co/F3AS516

These are the specs:

http://www.everymac.com/systems/app...-2.53-aluminum-15-mid-2010-unibody-specs.html

I got the standard configuration + the high res glossy screen

So what i would like to know is how do i enter the Bios in order to enable hardware visualisation?

Thank You,
Eddie

It could be a problem with old kernel extensions from a previous version. In that case, remove them and reboot your Mac, then reinstall the newest version of Parallels. If that does not help, you can try this:

I cannot test it, because i use VMware Fusion v3.1.2 without problems.
