Emulator is just a black screen

Hi
anyone managed to get the emulator to run?
I installed the IDE, hit on the emulator option and load it up to see how it looks… it displays the decompressing unix kernel and all that text and then it goes black.
I’ve tried installing 2.4 and 3.0, same result.
What’s the secret?

In the emulator configuration check that CPU-VT and GPU are enabled. I have seen this happen when either of them are not on. Sometimes you need to make sure that hyper threading is enabled on the computer before CPU-VT will work.
