CAELinux on Virtual Machine with no VIRTUALIZATION

First of all, I would like to thank the development team for the awesome work done!
CAELinux is a great solution for engineering students, as well as graduated professionals.

Also, I don't know if I am posting this at the wrong place, but if so, please move it to the right place.

Here is my problem:
I am starting to use CAELinux and would like to use the 2011 edition (64 bits) on my desktop and laptop.
Since I am a Windows user, I would not like to set a new partition on my HD or use it directly from the DVD (I would have to always be setting the BIOS...seems no so practicle)

On my laptop (Core i3 CPU), I had no problem on installing CAELinux 2011 on a Virtual Machine

The probem is with my desktop: My CPU (Core2Duo E7400) does not support the VIRTUALIZATION mode.
So here is my question:

Is there a way that I can install CAELinux on a Virtual Machine wihtout having Virtualization hardware technology?
Did anybody have this problem and still manage to install it on a virtual machine? If so, could you explain how to solve it?

My desktop is running a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits OS.

PS: I have tried the Windows Virtual PC and the "supposed" update (KB977206) that promises to get rid of the Virtualization hardware pre-requirement, but either it does not work or I did something wrog. If it does work, can anybody tell me how should I proceed to make it work?

Thanks a lot to whoever decides to help me
If you guys need anymore infos to try to help me, please do not hesitate on ask.

I had to set a switch in my Bios. Now everything works.

Well, could you tell me how can I do it, please?

You have to press a button i.e. F8 during start up. Then you can change the settings in your bios.
Make sure you absolutely know what you are doing. You can render your laptop useless.
