That's possibly a Java issue - have you updated to the latest JDK? The VM it is referring to is the Java Virtual Machine.

Either you don't have one, or Studio is looking in the wrong place for it. First of all, try installing the latest version J v8_27, I think?

Two Stack Overflow articles that may help are below. Else, if you can open Android Studio, gp to File | Project Structure and post a screenshot of that in here.

I already have the JAVA_HOME thing taken care of, and when I try to open the studio.bat file the command prompt opens and closes quickly. I then opened up the update_studio.bat file and said this http://gyazo.com/b57bb1ba2df70dfb3a5d37327da060a4 Don't know if it is related or not.
