Question

When I installed Intelhaxm through http://software.intel.com/en-us/android and I successfully installed, but when I try to verify the Intelhaxm in running or not in command prompt using administrator, I run the command "sc query intelhaxm" and it is showing state: 1 stopped and try to run " sc start intelhaxm" it is showing an error [SC] start service failed 31: a device attached to the system is not functioning..I didn't understand the problem.A solution, please.Appreciated.Thankyou

Answer 1

One possible explanation is that your system is not supported by HAXM. Among other things, you need certain CPU extensions such as VT-x and NX. Note that AMD processors do not work as of the latest version (v7.2.0).

Also, to debug such issues: Download DebugView, open it and make sure Capture > Capture Kernel is enabled. Filter by the string hax if your logs are polluted by too many events. After running sc start intelhaxm you should see what caused the driver initialization to fail.
