Hey Kelvin I really appreciate the help you are providing me with and I know I have been too needy for you but one last question. The Intel Virtualization Technology is not enabled, how do I enable it as this is the last step for me to download the HAXM. Oh yea before I forget, as I said before I can't find the application Android studio in my files where it was intended to be saved so do you have any idea how can I find it or what may have gone wrong? Thank you very much for your help again in advance.

you're welcome hoho,umm you got the shortcut of Android Studio? if you got one you can right-click on it,then click "open file location" for installing the HAXM exe you need to check the App Data,not the directory where the Android Studio installed,Android Studio usually located in Program Files,as i said you can type on seacrh "Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager" and if you got that folder,open it,if you found the HAXM you can go install it,about enabling intel VT,i enabled it by BIOS,look for "intel virtualization technology" and enable it,looks my trial limit is about to run out,so yeah xD,nice to meet you!

I downloaded the lollipop version but the only missing file is the HAXM Intel accelerator which does not want to update or download for n unknown reason.

update? i think you have it already...or you can go check it,on my PC,i found the installer on this path :

C:\Users\Kelvin Valencio\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

and i found the HAXM installer,you can go check it out,once you found it,you can try to install the installer,but you need to enable Intel Virtualization Technology in case you disabled it,have a good day!

i got the same problem like you 2 days ago,i found the installer there,enable the Intel VT and install it hoho

I can go up to local but in the local folder there is no android folder so...? And also I downloaded the android studio application as you know but I can't find the file itself or where to access it from when I restart the computer. I cant find it saved in any of my folders or files.

you can go to Library,click on My Computer and type "Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager" on the search box in the corner,that might help hehe
