Can't start emulator for Android Studio

Question

I'm using Android Studio, the new official IDE for Android. I can't never get the emulator running.

A black emulator screen containing the word "android" flashing appears, without change for minutes. I have waited more than 30 minutes without any change.

Must I use eclipse instead?

The IDE shows the messages:

Waiting for device. C:\Users\Yasser\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\tools\emulator.exe
-avd Nexus7 -netspeed full -netdelay none

You are getting blank screen So try to create an emulator with uncheck Use Host Gpu.

You can follow this step for creating new Emulator..

Click on Create virtual device , select Phone than choose Nexus 5 from list and select Lollipop with api 21 and Target Android 5.0 . On next Page uncheck Use Host Gpu and press Finish .
