Answer 2

It is a RAM related issue. The documentation is self explanatory:

You are trying to allocate >3GB of RAM to the VM. This requires: (a) a 64 bit host system; and (b) true hardware pass-through ie VT-x.

Fast solution

Allocate less than 3GB for the virtual machine.

Complete solution

1. Make sure your system is 64 bit.
2. Enable virtualisation in your host machine. You can find how to do it here or there are many other resources available on Google.
