I should have posted this with my original post. My processor is an Intel 
T3400 which has the virtualization extensions. I did check to make sure it 
was turned on in the BIOS but there was no BIOS setting. I hope it is on 
by default. I do also have VMware server 2 running (thanks to OSE forum!).
(Perhaps a call to Lenovo support; I have an IdeaPad G530.)

I may download the latest VB from virtualbox.org but really wanted to 
stick to the one from OSE repositories.
