I updated the BIOS to Rev A12. I also updated VirtualBox to version 2.1.4. Of note, I was able to run the x64 guest OS checker from <a href="http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/drivers_tools.html" rel="nofollow"> here </a>. It reported that the test was successful. After these changes, It still was not working. I then found this <a href="http://lycos.dropcode.net/gregarius/VMware_Communities_:_Thread_List_-_VMware_Server/2008/11/18/Running_64-bit_on_a_Dell_OptiPlex_755_with_VT" rel="nofollow">post </a> from Brent Gardner, Network Administrator <a href="http://www.iprotech.com" rel="nofollow"> IPRO Tech, Inc. </a>. His post says that the "Trusted Execution" setting needs to be turned "off". (I had it turned on). This worked and I am now off to the races! Thank you Everyeone!

You may also want to check for BIOS updates while you are at it. If you are all set there, make sure your host software is actually configured to use hardware virtualization.
