Hi,

I'm beginner in android studio and i have installed latest android studio in my pc, which is windows 7.

Now when i try to run emulator it shows, following error.

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

I've googled and found the solution for it and i've tried to install Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager from the android sdk path.

But when i try to install the exe it shows following error, see

I've installed Intel Processor identification, and checked visualization is enabled,
see image

So can any one tell me why emulator is not running in my pc?

Look at the error you show us:

"This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed. Please refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information"

So look at the HAXM documentation, find out what the minimum hardware specification is, and ensure that your computer meets or exceeds that.

I suspect you need to update your PC...

First of all, look at Solution 1. That works and is working in my case as well as other Android developer.

Secondly, since your machine doesn't support HAXM. It doesn't matter whether you re-install it or not, it won't support your machine. In this case, you need to create your emulators with no Hardware acceleration. Do not try to use x86 or similar architectures that require you to use Intel HAXM. Use ARM based versions instead.

Use other versions for OS and they will run, slower, but they will run.
