You should try re-downloading all the tools shown in below the video in the teacher's notes on this video:
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-an-android-app/getting-started-with-android/setting-up-an-android-development-environment-for-windows
Then you can follow the tutorial for how to set up the virtual device (you have to create it yourself) in this video: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-an-android-app/getting-started-with-android/running-the-fun-facts-project
However, personally, I really like using Genymotion a lot more as it is more responsive and takes much less time to load. There is another video tutorial on how to download and set this one up here: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/android-tools/getting-started-with-genymotion/what-is-genymotion
If you use Genymotion, you will not need to set up a device through the AVD in Android Developer. It treats Genymotion as if it was a phone plugged into your computer.
Hope this helps
