Crystal Ball will not run on eclipse

Hello, I am following the Android Development track. At the end of video number 3 "Android Setup and the Crystal Ball Project", Ben shows us how to run the app on the emulator. When I click "Run As > 1 Android Application, Nothing happens. I have followed everything to the letter, as shown on the video. Any ideas as to why the app is not running on the emulator?

(Running on a Windows 7 64-bit box).

Thanks Harry. I did try that before posting the issue. After trying to do the project over again with no luck, I ended up deleting all my files in my workspace directory that I created and re-downloading the bundle supplied by TreeHouse started the project again and for whatever reason it worked this time.

Thanks again

Ok.

Glad to hear you fixed the problem then.

Hmm. This seems odd.

Do you have your emulator already open when you are doing this? If not, try starting up the app with the emulator already opened.

Also, try restarting Eclipse via File >> Restart and seeing if that fixes anything.
