title: Error message in Android Studio when trying to run and load emulator for the first time
body: <p>The error message is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PANIC: Could not open AVD config file: C:\Users\Darth\.android\avd\Nexus_5_API_21_x86.avd\config.ini
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've looked in that directory and there is no config.ini file.  Only a userdata.img file.<br>
  When looking in the AVD manager the actions column says "Failed to load".  If I right click it and click details it shows an error of:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Error: Failed to parse properties from C:\Users\Username\.android\avd\Nexus_5_API_21_x87.avd\config.ini
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Fixes attempted that didn't work:</p>
  
  <p>1 - Try choosing a different device definition. (config.ini file still missing when choosing multiple other devices)</p>
  
  <p>2 - sharing the .android directory with my whole homegroup (selecting a device still doesn't generate a config.ini file, same error persists)</p>
  
  <p><strong>FIX:</strong> Thanks for all the replies.  The fix that worked was changing the Memory of the AVD to 512!</p>
