Having installed the Access Commander virtual machine on your computer; it is possible that the
machine may not start and you may encounter an error telling you that VT-x is disabled (or
referencing a problem with AMD-V if you have an AMD CPU). This means that the hardware
acceleration settings required by the CPU to support virtualization are currently disabled in your
BIOS.

Since Access Commander runs in a virtual environment, your computer’s BIOS settings must be
configured to allow virtualization.  Accessing a computer’s BIOS will differ from manufacturer
to manufacturer.  Additionally, the same manufacturer may implement different BIOS versions
depending on the age or model of your computer.

To access the BIOS, most computers offer a prompt to press a button/button combination to
‘enter setup’ in the first few seconds after turning on your computer. You will need to do this
before your operating system begins to load. On some machines, this button/button combination
will take you directly to the BIOS settings, on other machines you may encounter a ‘Setup
Menu’ which will include an option to enter the BIOS.

If your computer doesn’t offer any options to access its BIOS before your OS loads then it is
possible that it uses UEFI instead. Please read further on in this article for information on
accessing your computer’s UEFI.

Below is a list of the most common computer manufacturers and information regarding
accessing the BIOS settings for each manufacturer.

Sony

Sony VAIO:  F2 or F3

also works if your Sony VAIO came with Windows 8.
 1. With the computer turned completely off, press and hold the Assist button until the black
VAIO screen appears. 

NOTE: The location of the  Assist button will be different depending on the computer

model. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the computer for the exact
location of the Assist  button on your model.

2. At the VAIOCare | Rescue Mode screen, press the Down Arrow key until the Start

BIOS setup [F2] option is highlighted, and then press the Enter key.
3. In the [BIOS Name] Setup Utility screen, press the right-arrow key until

As mentioned, the steps required to enable virtualization may differ from the above, depending
on the BIOS version of your machine. If this is the case, then you should look for options labeled
'Virtualization Technology' or 'Intel® Virtualization Technology' under the 'CPU
Configurations', 'System Configurations', 'Advanced' , 'Security'or  'Processor' tab and check
if the option is enabled or disabled. Less commonly, you may find the settings within the
'Chipset' or 'Northbridge' or BIOS specific overclocking tab.

 
If you have enabled these settings within the BIOS or, having enabled them, you are still seeing
error messages from your virtualization software referencing VT-X or AMD-V, then it may be
necessary to disable Hyper-V on your computer. This can be done as follows:

Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> click Turn Windows
features on or off -> un-check Hyper-V -> click OK.

On a UEFI-based computer, there is often no button press prompt before the OS loads. Instead,
you will access these settings from within the OS. For a Windows system; hold down the Shift
key as you click Restart in Windows to reboot straight to that menu. To access the UEFI
Firmware Settings, click the Troubleshoot tile, select Advanced Options, and select UEFI
Firmware Settings. Click the Restart option afterward and your computer will reboot into its
UEFI firmware settings screen.

Buna Ramon, multumesc mult pentru sfat si ajutor.Pana la urma cred ca m-am descurcat. Am
ajuns in stadiul de introducere a parolei. Acolo vad ca gandeste foarte mult si pana acum nu m-a
lasat sa introduc nici o parola. Probabil procesul este de durata.

In cazul in care folosesti un sistem de operare precum Windows si nu cunosti, nu vrei sau nu ai
acces la linia de comanda, atunci iti recomand sa folosesti un mediu de dezvoltare software, IDE
(Integrated Development Environment). IDE-ul pe care ti-l recomand il poti gasi la video-ul
acesta [1] sau ca alternativa poti sa folosesti un Web IDE precum [2] sau [3].
