I just installed Android Studio on my computer (Windows 8) but when i tried to run a program i get the error:

"Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?"

I have tried almost all the emulators but am still getting this error or it won't even start.What am i doing wrong?

You need to wait for the emulator to full start - takes a few minutes. Once it is fully started (UI on the emulator will change), it should work.

This might help you..

    Yes, until the emulator fully starts, restart your application. – 53iScott Feb 06 '14 at 05:40

    How do I know when the emulator is UI is fully started? You say that the emulator will change - but what does it change FROM, and what does it change TO? My emulator shows an "ANDROID" logo, which is shimmering from left to right. Does this mean the emulator is (A) fully started or (B) still waiting to "change"? – Ed Poor Nov 30 '14 at 13:46
