Cannot install x64 guest on x64 Vista Ultimate host

I have Vista Ultimate x64 installed on workstation, now I installed Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I cannot install x64 2008 server, it will tell me that x64 operating systems are not supported, even though bios has Intel Virtualization technology enabled and Intel Q9550 CPU has it. And my host is x64 and everything works on it. What is the probem with this software, 32-bit operating systems work fine as guest, but x64 won't install.

Did you power off the machine after enabling VT in the BIOS -- a reboot isn't enough...

Also check for a BIOS update for your motherboard.
