I'm trying to get back into android programming on my new computer.

I installed everything using TheNewBoston's tutorials 1-4 on YouTube, but when I go in to my AVD manager to run the Nexus 5 API 21 x86 I get the 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!

So naturally I googled around and found several threads with the same problem and solutions.

Error in launching AVD with AMD processor

Is one example and I also tried to manually install the "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) where I got the following problem.

Failed to configure driver: unknown error. Failed to open driver

So then I found this thread saying that my CPU might not support Virtualization, but I have no idea how to check if it is.

HAX kernel module is not installed

My CPU is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @3.40 GHz. If it doesn't support Virtualization...what are my options? Can I still test my applications on a phone?

Thanks in advance.

  • your question got nothing with java, android studio nor android activity. use proper tags. it's all about emulator – Marcin Orlowski Jan 20 '15 at 17:53
  • You can check here:http://ark.intel.com/ For yours specifically: http://ark.intel.com/products/65520/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz It shows that it is Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) capable. – Whitney Jan 20 '15 at 17:59
  • @MarcinOrlowski Sorry, I just thought it had to do with java since it was the language involved in android studio, and it was where I encountered the issue to begin with. – user3607976 Jan 21 '15 at 13:21

Don't worry your CPU does support virtualization. Please go to boot menu and enable your virtualization settings from there. you'll be good to go then.
