I have installed and set up Eclipse and the plugin ADT in order to work with Android SDK. So far so good. But when I try to launch a VM(virtual Machine) for any android platform that I choose (for example: android 3.2) I just get the skin launched together with a keyboard console and phone buttons, it seems to boot up to a state and then does nothing but displays the android logo on the main vm screen and that's all it does - no more!, no VM functionality!, what's going on? Have I missed out some step? Please help...
Have been waiting sometimes over 10 mins in each case for the emulator to start.
I launched/ran an Android project test sample; 'hello world' from the eclipse environment after installing the ADT plugin for Android These are the error messages I had displayed in the console ddms:

At no point have I have anything but the Android logo displayed on my emulator. I have tried various platform emulators - none of them are performing!
A second lot of errors I received back on a test run after I checked the user data wiped in the Run configuration menu was: result
