Cat, Try an older version of qemu. If it works, you can try newer ones if they have features or bugs corrected that may affect you.
I had the same problem, but thanks to Joe Bogner and Alex, I have it running. Here's the link to the older qemu that worked: http://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/qemu-w64-setup-20140715.exe I was running it on Win 8 64-bit at the time.
