You probably haven't installed everything needed. Had this problem before, didn't knew how to solve it myself, so i used the invention of the Interwebs . . . :D Have a link for you that describes what to do.

now what does this mean? emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration. Weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it.
