My Android emulator is running properly but it is showing this error every time I start the emulator.
Starting emulator for AVD AVD_for_Nexus_4 emulator: Failed to open the HAX device! HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode emulator: Open HAX device failed emulator: emulator window was out of view and was recentered
I do not understand what is the exact problem.
If the Android Emulator does not start properly, this problem is often caused by problems with HAXM. HAXM issues are often the result of conflicts with other virtualization technologies, incorrect settings, or an out-of-date HAXM driver. Try reinstalling the HAXM driver, using the steps detailed in Installing HAXM.
It seems that the emulator from Android SDK Tools 23.0. 5 requires hardware acceleration, regardless if you choose it or not. They say that GENYMOTION wouldn`t help either, because it also needs hardware acceleration. The option is to build and emulate for ARM.
If you are using Android Studio then you can achieve the same result from the menu Tools ➞ SDK Manager, and then on the SDK Tools tab, select the checkbox for Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer), and click Ok. Show activity on this post.
Intel HAXM Not Installed Properly. First of all check intel haxm is installed on your system or not. For this open android sdk manager and check it is installed or not. In case it is installed then maybe there was some error while its installation that’s why it is not working properly.
if you are running Intel processor make sure HAXM (Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) installer is install via SDK Manager by checking this option in SDK Manager. and then run the HAXM installer ext via the path below also check the ram size allocated while doing HAX installation so it fits the ram size of your emulator.
Failed to open driver” while installing haxm then you can try this solution. In some cases intel haxm not work when virtualization technology is not enabled. You can just enable it by going to BIOS settings.
I think you are trying to run an emulator based on x86. I got the same error when I just download the HAXM under Extras category of Android SDK Manager. Actually, you need install it. Go to the directory of extras and run the installation of HAXM. Hope this will solve your problem.
The solution of Rohan will fix the problem as the error message will not be shown but the emulator will not use the hardware acceleration and thus be again very slow.
I recommend instead to install the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager as described here:

I had the same problem recently.
First you need to install HAXM in the Android SDK Manager (from the error message I think you already did that). This will enable the emulator to use the HAXM framework, and for this it needs to open the HAX device. On your system this cannot be found, hence the error message.
To make this device available, you need to install the HAXM driver from Intel. You can find it here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager (You also need to enable virtualization in your computer BIOS).
Hope this helps.
