Thanks Jerry for your kind help and direction. I have found out that the problem was not so much to do with which Windows Services were running in the background, because I soon realised that the core OS for the Android Emulator is Java. It now makes sense to me why the Java 5/6 runtime libraries are a required specification before Adroid will work. The reason I found this out the hard way was due to me listening to other developers who said that one should be able to run the Emulator and SDK on its own "without Eclipse"! I have found that this is not true for my XP SP2 machine. I did try running the Emulator from the command line, but it seems that nothing decided to work unless Eclispe was installed and running with the Android Developement plugin installed!
