[SOLVED] Can't run Virtual Machine.

I've tried to set up a virtual machine for Windows XP, but get this error message: VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot(VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).
Details:
Return code: NS_ERROR_FAILUR (0X80004005)
Component: Console
Card: IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3}

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits on a DELL VOSTRO 1720.

The error message comes up for trying to run an empty VM.

I've being grateful if anybody could help me.

Thanks to Mr Code, now it works and I've got WinXP to run within it.
Now I'm trying to get internet connection into WinXP, have installed Ubuntu KVM Virtualization Host, but it'snt got to work.
If anybody have an idea, I've be grateful.
