Trouble running device

When I try to run my device I get this message Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. Your CPU does not support VT-x.

Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware accelerated virtualization. Here are some of your options: 1) Use a physical device for testing 2) Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX 3) Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM 4) Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image (This is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)

So to get this working you need that the CPU to have VT , can you show us what processor are you using ?

Please go to BIOS ( with F12 mostly ) ( see in google for your pc ) and search for virtualizaiton and if you see it enable it ( by defualt is disabled ) than you can try Intel Haxm
