title: Android emulator hates me
body: <p>Sorry for this title but I'm just so mad because not any of the emulators seem to be working for me. Here are the reasons:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Built-in Android Emulator - too slow, it won't even deploy the application, stuck at <code>Starting emulator ...</code>, mostly gets the error <code>Emulator cannot be started with VS (unknown provider)</code></p></li>
  <li><p>Genymotion - i thought this is my hope but the virtualbox for some reason gives me Blue Screen of Death hence not being able to use this really good, best recommended emulator</p>
  
  <p>BSOD Technical Information: STOP: 0x0000003B (0x00000000c0000005, 0xFFFFF880010C9710, 0xFFFFF8800DFB8690, 0000000000000000)</p></li>
  <li><p>XAP or Xamarin Android Player - uses VirtualBox as well, won't let me run the emulator, a dialog box appears saying <code>Failed to start the virtual machine. This indicates you have just installed virtualbox and need to reboot your computer.</code> Rebooted/restarted the computer a thousand times, same error.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>This is too much pain for me as I'm still a beginner in Android Development but seems like it hates me so much.</p>
