Description
hello,
Recently, for last tow versions 4.2.4 and 4.2.6 I did not find option to install any 32bit guest OS. Though if I try to run ubuntu 32bit os live cd or try to install 32bit windows os then it just hang up with black screen(no further execution)
I have windows 8 professional 64bit OS with i3 processor.
Regards,
Jignesh Patel.

This is not a bug. You must enabled VT-x support in the BIOS. If not, all you can do with VirtualBox is to only run 32 bit OS-es. The missing options in the Create VM wizard are the 64-bit OS-es.

But in my laptop BIOS there is no option for setting "VT-x".
I have Acer Aspire 5755 laptop.

If there's no VT-x or virtualization option in the BIOS menu, you should consult the laptop's documentation or ask the manufacturer.

Oh man !!!!!!!!!!!
It is working now, even my last ticket# 11276 is also fixed.
What I did is I uninstalled Hyper-V from my Windows 8 system and now I can see VT-x option and 6bit option in OS list also.
Thank you for your support and help.
