I get the typical HAX error. Win7 x64, i7-2630QM

emulator: Failed to open the HAX device!
emulator: Open HAX device failed
HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode

The drivers are installed, virtualization is enabled in the BIOS, yet HAX still refuses to work. It used to work, but stopped after I reinstalled Windows. I believe, both Windows versions were the same, x64 Professional.

    Have you tried this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10761696/running-the-new-intel-emulator-for-android/10772162#10772162 – sid Jan 24 '14 at 12:30
  • Scrolled through all the answers, apparently Avast hates devs (loses it's shit every time I launch something I wrote in VS). Uninstalled Avast, reinstalled HAXM drivers, everything works now. Thanks. – DariusL Jan 25 '14 at 20:28
  • Follow the [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10761696/running-the-new-intel-emulator-for-android) to the similar question which is already answered. Do read the **comments** of the first answer as well. Also, if you are having a problem that the screen of **AVD** is **persistently black**, then check the "**Use Host GPU**" checkbox while creating/editing your AVD. – Himanshu Aggarwal Aug 01 '14 at 18:21

It sounds like when you reinstalled Windows, your HAXM drivers got blown away. Have you tried re installing them? If not, you should probably get the latest versions: http://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager

This question is pretty old - did you get it to work? I was wondering if the comment above helped?

  • As explained in my comment, the issue was Avast breaking virtualization for some reason. Resolved by switching to MSE. – DariusL Mar 14 '14 at 13:55
