16,781 PointsHow to install Intel HAXM, error when trying to install
Hello everyone!
I've got to the part of the video where you need to test your android app, after i downloaded the INTEL HAXM installer from the android studio and ran it, an error stopped me ''This computer does not support Intel Executable Disable Bit(XD) or it is disable in BIOS. I've researched this error on the internet and it says i should have Intel Virtualization Technology ''Enabled''. I already had it without doing anything but I still have the same error , I took a photo with my phone and uploaded here http://imgur.com/fRQeSDF, would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Is your emulator working? If you are having problems with the emulator bundled with Android Studio, I would suggest using Genymotion, a third-party emulator for Android. It's free and easy to install, and in my experience runs better than the stock emulator. Download it here. Let me know how it works out.

16,781 PointsWell i wanted to use the one from the android studio since im verry new at this, and im not sure how to use Android Studio + Geny Motion, anyway to fix the android studio one ?This is the error from Android studio : emulator: 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!

Courses Plus Student 21,474 PointsWell I'm not sure about what's causing this error. If you have a physical Android Device, you can always enable developer mode and use that for debugging. Or, if you don't, you can read more about how to use Android Studio + Genymotion.
Good luck!

Treehouse TeacherHey Catalin! It looks like this person was able to get it to work by enabling "No Execute (NX) Memory Protection". If you enable that does it work for you?
