Emulator not running.

Upon launching the emulator I am getting this message "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!" I checked on the SDK Manager the HAX kernel module is installed. What Should I do?

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the answer to your specific problem with the emulator.

However, I'm sure you're excited to start learning android dev! Until someone more knowledgeable comes along, i would recommend jumping to the course "Android Tools->Getting Started with Genymotion." It will walk you through installing a plugin emulator for android studio, that may work where the standard emulator won't.

Hope that works!
