Apps Eclipse Emulator errors - first time programmer

[princecoder]

Hey guys,

I am trying to run my first simply app in Eclipse, just a HelloWorld app through an emulator using Android Virtual Device. I've been following the pdf book "Android Development for Dummies" and am stumped at the point where I am trying to run my application through Eclipses emulator.

[2015-04-03 01:13:41 - Emulator] could not get wglGetExtensionsStringARB
[2015-04-03 01:13:41 - Emulator] could not get wglGetExtensionsStringARB

[2015-04-03 01:13:41 - Emulator] Could not initialize emulated framebufferERROR: Could not create renderer: Couldn't find matching render driver
[2015-04-03 01:13:41 - Emulator]

These errors above are what I am getting after doing a 'Run Configuration'. I have no idea what to do next. I have tried changing the Target device and selecting 'Snapshot' and 'Use Host GPU in the Emulation options section in the AVD manager with no luck.

I really don't know what I am doing and am completely new to Android programming that I don't know how to troubleshoot or read error code messages in a way that would give me an idea on what is wrong.

However, after doing some searching I found that my computers Video card driver may be the issue. I am working on an old HP Pavillion dv2000 and don't know what drivers I would need should this be the issue.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

I have been researching and it seems that OpenGL requires some drivers to be able to render things properly? Can anyone help me get to the next step? I just tried launching the emulator from command prompt but I got all the same error messages...

Can someone direct me to an Android forum that has more activity and active members willing to help and participate? This forum has shown it is not of much worth...even for a basic question
