Cannot start Android Emulator: "Unable to load VM from snapshot"

android, android-emulator, eclipse

Solution

Maybe try to disable the hardware snapshot in the Android Virtual Device Manager? It should be installed wherever you installed the android SDK.

Problem

I tried to launch the android emulator from Eclipse but the emulator will not start. When I try to start it I get the following error: emulator: ERROR: Unable to load VM from snapshot. The snapshot has been saved for a different hardware configuration. Any advice?
