I dont think the virtualization software are compatible with the client version of MAC OS X.
They specificaly ask for a Mac OS X server. (Information is up to date, upto parallels desktop 6 and virtual box 4.1.8)

So whats the problem I had the virtual machine running perfectly except the graphics and have my desktop dual booting lion an win 7

Lion can not be directly installed from iso it. Needs snow leopard pre installed or use tony mac thumb drive method but that too needs lion on another computer ..

What are you talking about?
O.P is asking about virtual installation,not hackintosh!
