I've got a new Acer Aspire V3-772G-9829 on which I am trying to install VMWare Player so I can run a 64-bit OS. Unfortunately I can't get Player to install the 64-bit version. I've been searching and found that the typical reason this happens is because VT is turned off in BIOS. So I downloaded the detection tool, and here are the results (transcribed by hand so typos are possible):
Random_Init: Using random seed 0x7f2b5eaf4

Press any key to reboot.
So I know my machine is VT-capable, and I believe this is indicating that VT is enabled. Can anyone comment and suggest my next step?
