Android emulator not working- GPU driver issue and failed to allocate memory for the skin bitmap(Error displaying skin).

I wanted to run my program on emulator so as explained in the video I install HAXM software and create a new virtual device but when I try to launch it I got a pop up saying GPU driver issue and so I am unable to use my emulator. Even I got message like your computer on low memory and failed to allocate memory for the skin bitmap. Please Help

Hey Surbhi!

That's certainly frustrating. I've not seen this issue before, but it looks like this Stack Overflow post might have the answer.

Hope that helps!
