"Cannot launch AVD in emulator. Output: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!"

I can't use a virtual device because of this. Yes, I installed the Accelerator from the Manager and even went into my app data and ran the intelhax.exe program, but there I found ANOTHER error telling me that my computer couldn't handle something about Intel.

I need help with this, and I can't start making apps until I get passed this block.

You need to open Android SDK Manager and download HAXM package from Extras

In order to use HAXM (including the x86 targets) you will need to have the additional functionality available from a product that only runs on Intel processors. You must have an Intel processor in your computer, then will need to install additional tools (including a driver) on your machine.

Your first problem was not having the additional drivers installed, your second problem, is that you can't install them because you don't have a compatible Intel processor.

You don't need to use HAXM to run the emulator (although it IS much faster). When creating a new AVD, target the "arm" system images, instead of the "x86" ones.

Another alternative is to download and use the Genymotion product which is a 3rd party emulator, and works well.
