Answer 1

This is a bug that was introduced with SDK tools r12. You can do either of two things:

• Install your SDK into your C:\ root directory instead of C:\Program Files
• In Eclipse, go to Window -> Preferences -> Android. If you placed your SDK in C:\Program Files, change that to C:\PROGRA~1. If you placed it in C:\Program Files (x86), change it to C:\PROGRA~2. Eclipse is going to complain, so in your command line terminal, run adb kill-server and then adb start-server. If you haven't set up your PATH variable yet, then, in the command prompt, navigate to (path to sdk)\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools, and run those two commands from there.

Your android sdk might not be configured correctly. Did you try to run the emulator from command line? [http://www.ceveni.com/2009/12/run-android-emulator-from-command-line.html][1]
