Problems running Android virtual machine from avd manager

Question

I have installed and set up Eclipse and the plugin ADT in order to work with the Android SDK. So far so good.

However, when I try to launch a VM for any Android platform that I choose (e.g. Android 3.2), I just get the skin launched together with a keyboard console and phone buttons; it seems to boot up to a state and then does nothing but displays the android logo on the main VM screen and that's all it does — nothing else, no VM functionality!

What's going on? Have I missed out some step?

I am working on a Windows 32 bit machine with a Intel dual core 1.5 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM.

Answer 1

How long do you wait? Sometimes it takes a few minutes.

Answer 2

Your computer can not be enough for AVD. That was my problem before. RAM and CPU are very important for an Android developer.
