VirtualBox cannot create virtualization of Windows 8.1 under Mac OS X 10.6.8

2

Windows 8 is telling me that I don't have a 64-bit processor, but I do (my Macbook is a 2010 model, all of which come with 64-bit processor).

"This 64-bit application couldn't load because your PC doesn't have a 64-bit processor. ... Error code 0xc000035a"

Also, I have enabled PAE/NX in VirtualBox. Any idea what the problem could be?

Make sure that you select Windows 8.1 (64bit) instead of Windows 8.1 in the Version settings of the VM. I made this mistake as well and it threw that error.
