Vista wont let me install HAXM

Question

I am trying to install HAXM to use a virtual device for Android Studio, but I get the error stating "This computer does not support Intel Visualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed" when I try downloading it. Why?

On their site they state that the 32 bit Vista version DOES support it... so what can I do?

I tried getting around this but using my own device for Android Studio instead, but AS isnt even able to detect my phone, even though my computer does...

PLEASE HELP!

HAXM only works on intel based machines that have "Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)" — petey, Mar 04 '15 at 21:43
if you have an intel processor please make sure the virtualization technology is enabled in bios — ArchiFloyd, Mar 04 '15 at 21:46

Cpu has to support ND/XD (execute disable) bit & Virtualization (check http://ark.intel.com)
Have to download separate installer rather than install thru Android studio (https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager )
Set vt on in bios and turn off M/S hypervisor: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Set ND bit on bcdedit /set nx AlwaysOn
Turn off antivirus - especially Avast (Avast: disable "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" under: Settings > Troubleshooting) Then either restart the PC or do a sc stop/start intelhaxm.
None of this is working try sfc /scannow and reboot
MACs need to turn down the RAM in the AVD or reinstall HAXM with lower RAM.
