Genymotion emulator not able to launch in windows 8.1

Question

I am not able to start genimotion emulator after upgrading my windows to 8.1. It shows black screen saying dialog "Starting an emulator".

Can anyone know some work around for this?

Answer 1

I've managed to get mine to work by:

1. Uninstall Genymotion
2. Uninstall Virtualbox
3. Install latest Virtualbox
4. Install Genymotion (the version without Virtualbox)

Caveats: Runs slower than mollases :( I'll post back here if I find a fix for that.
