you could also try this simpler test:

1/ open a Command-Line console 2/ go to the $SDK/tools directory 3/ type "set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib" 4/ type "emulator"

let me know if this fixes the problem or not

the error means that the SDL library within the emulator binary could not initalize the emulator's window. it is difficult to know why at the moment. in theory, this should never happen on Windows, unless you have modified your environment.

could you do the following ?:

1/ open a Command-Line console 2/ go to the M5 $SDK/tools directory 3/ try to launch the emulator by simply typing "emulator"

if this still fails:

4/ type "set", this will print the list of environment variables defined on your system 5/ look for anything that begins with "SDL_" and if found, send me the list 6/ if none begins with SDL_, please send me the complete output so I can have a look

sorry, but no. we simply don't have the time and resources to test on Windows 2000

I just found out on System and Software requirements

http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html#developmentrequi...

that:

Supported Operating Systems

* Windows XP or Vista

Which is kind of strange, since everything works, except the emulator !

Is there any chance that this can work on Win2K ?

What are the emulator requirements ?

I switched from WinXP to a Win2K machine, and now I'm getting the following problem.

D:\android-sdk_m5-rc14_windows\tools>emulator SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device

I have checked for requirements or limitations for the emulator or windows system, and have NOT found any !

I'm running the most upto date Win2K (SP4) with DirectX 9.0b

So what is missing for this to work ?

The weird thing, is that it's the only piece of the development environment that is not working, everything else, seems to work

fine.

NOTE: I'm on M5, using Eclipse and the latest Android Plug-in.

Any feedback on how to fix this issue is very welcome.

Thanks
