Could not run Android emulator as could not initialize emulated framebufferHAX in Windows 7

Question

I am using Google map activity and added some dependencies to display the map on an emulator.

I'm getting the following error:

C:\Users\root\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator.exe -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_One_API_21
Failed to create Context 0x3005

Could not initialize emulated framebufferHAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode
ERROR: Could not create renderer: Couldn't find matching render driver

I reinstalled all plugins and SDK but it didn't help.

The emulator is shown for a millisecond and disappears again, and I end up with this message.

Answer 1

Its because of video drivers not working properly or its not compatible with the emulator screen display resolution.

So just update your windows driver and restart the system, keeping your display or screen at highest resolution, then start your Android Studio and it will work fine. Just Google how to update your video driver or display driver and you can go ahead.
