4,475 PointsYes steve it fixed the problem. I still use the older computer because it is fine doing everything else. I LOVE MY NEW ASUS i7. It rocks! The emulator starts up fairly quickly. I am tempted to upload genymotion. Good luck steve!

4,475 Pointsthe problem is all I see is the emulator loading. I see the android logo, it stayed in that position for 45min yesterday and then I had to move on to other things so I shut it down. Isnt that a bit excessive for it to load. I never saw it actually complete so Im hoping for a different outcome today. Is there anything I can do to speed things up? I still dont know how long it will take to complete but over 45min is crazy. Any suggestions? this is the piece preventing me from moving forward.

680 PointsHi Eric, I'm having the same problem, running an old Vista 32 bit machine, did the loading time significantly improve with a new PC?
