Can you please share the error message you are receiving, as well as a link to the images you are downloading and attempting to use? It is possible to run a 64-bit Virtual machine on a 32-bit OS, but it requires use of processor level virtualization extensions, which are vt-x for intel chips, or amd-v for AMD chips. VMWare makes a small utility that can verify if your particular setup is compatible. Link provided below. https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=PROCESSOR-CHECK-5.5-DT&productId=26 Give this utility a shot and reply back with the results.
