This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible There's a decent enough explanation on the vmware knowledge-base article that you've included above as to what's going on and what to do. Beyond that, none of us can tell you what precisely how to do it for your laptop because this is going to be something that's specific to the BIOS in your computer rather than some standard we can rattle off for you that will work everywhere. |

This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible So what is causing this error? - you've definitely checked the obvious idea that the error message means what it says and says what it means and that your BIOS settings need to be configured as described above? |

In Windows, when does a shutdown protect the data? This happens on most modern operating systems - if the OS detects certain kinds of problems that make it impossible to guarantee the state of the machine from then on then refusing to continue is better than continuing in an unknown state and potentially introducing unknown corruption into your data. |

How to detect a USB Rubber Ducky? Thank goodness no one's invented a way to put more than one type of device into the same type of casing, or to program devices to do more than one thing. |

Exchange: Import mails to shared mailbox And if the emails are not in an exchange server, then connect to the mailbox with Outlook. Use the appropriate import routine. It's under the file menu (file, open & export in Outlook 2013). |

How to connect to network printer with Windows 7 If I had to guess, you're trying to connect from your 64-bit Windows 7 workstation to a printer installed on a 32-bit Windows XP installation and you're trying to install the 32-bit drivers. You need 64-bit drivers for a 64-bit client. |

Clonezilla with an old Windows 98 machine @JanKoester Yes - either way you're accessing the drive. If it's about to fail if its accessed again then how or why it's accessed isn't that important. |

What should be taken into consideration when deploying Windows 8 in a domain environment? @GaTechThomas Licenses are not the issue. Wasted time is. I agree. So please live up to your own standards and respect the time of people on SuperUser. If you don't have the time to improve your question then respectfully, it is rather rude to expect people to devote lots of time to trying to figure out what you're after in order to answer you. |

Setting up a second network in my home I'm glad the wireless devices are working @JohnnyW - as to why the wired machine isn't working I don't know - I'm doing something similar at home with a superhub and a "conventional" switch. Is the wired PC getting an IP address from DHCP on the superhub? Is DHCP on the D-Link turned off? Does the D-Link have any options to 'firewall' LAN computers from each other? Silly, obvious question but if you've plugged a 'new' cable into the PC > D-Link connection then could that cable be bad? (sorry if this is obvious, I know you've done troubleshooting but I don't know what you tried...) |

Cannot connect 192.168.1.X from another local computer But I cannot. - You need to tell us: what happens when you try?. Saying "but I cannot" can mean anything from it not working due to the reasons mentioned in Steve's superb answer below all the way through to the computer catching fire and exploding or aliens stealing your network cable. |

How to create a password to open firefox? Frankly, you're going about this the wrong way. If you don't trust people enough to use your browser session - which I totally understand, by the way - then you need to give them a seperate computer account, as has already been suggested. I understand that you apparently don't want to do this, but that doesn't make it the wrong answer. |

How to speak on microphone only when key is pressed I think this question would be better on Superuser. Voting to move. |
