Hello David: I don't think that is a matter of services, I assume you have Internet access and that should start all needed services (I think). Are getting any kind of message before shutdown? Have you tried running it manually from the command line?
Please try manually launching the emulator from the command line. Click on Start, then Run, type cmd [Enter]. When presented with the command line change your directory to the Android SDK tools subdirectory, for example: cd \eclipse\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools (Substitute the path as needed) Then type emulator [Enter] Let me know if you get an error message. In case it helps, following find the list of active services in my XP SP3 box, emulator runs just fine: Automatic Updates Computer Browser Cryptographic Services DCOM Server Process Launcher DHCP Client DNS Client Distributed Link Tracking Client Error Reporting Service Event Log Help and Support IPSEC Services Logical Disk Manager PLFlash DeviceIoControl Service Plug and Play Pml Driver HPZ12 Print Spooler Protected Storage Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Secondary Logon Security Accounts Manager Security Center Server Shell Hardware Detection System Event Notification System Restore Service TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Task Scheduler Themes WebClient Windows Audio Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Windows Management Instrumentation Windows Time Wireless Zero Configuration Workstation On Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 4:47 AM, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > Dear Adroiders, > Does anyone have any idea what Windows System services are needed in > order to get the Emulator to run.
