OpenGL does not work in VMware?

I am new to Android, and am just starting to work through the examples in "Learn Android App Development". When I try to "run as Android application", I get the following errors...

The two lines with "not found" at the end, and the very last line are actually in red ink.
Being brand new to Android development, I am not sure where the error is actually coming from. Is it related to the fact that I am doing this on a Windows 7 x64 VMware VM, is it related to the host system (also a Windows 7 x64 system), is it related to the graphics card and its software, OpenGL, position of Mars in relationship to Venus, screen resolution, etc.??? My hardware is a HP pavilion AMD three Core processor.

Project load is successful, new emulator opens, but with no content

I created a new AVD and things seemed to be going so swimmingly well. Yes a couple warnings and failures, but then apparent success - "Installing Tic-Tac-Toe.apk... Success! Starting activity... Starting: Intent" But nothing appears in the emulator, and underneath the date and time on the emulator screen is, "Charging (50%)" whatever that means.
Any ideas are tremendously appreciated.

android emulator does not work

I installed jdk 1.7.0, eclipse and the android plugin. I create a new android project but when I try to launch I get this message:

I get the same message if I try to launch the emulator from the sdk manager. What does that mean? Thanks, Andrea.

Emulator Not Working in Eclipse

Hello everyone I can't seem to figure out why my emulator isn't working and I don't get the error in the console
Here is what it says in the console

This error occurs on Version 12/13. You SDK path contains spaces. Move it to space-less path or if it is in Program Files change the path in Window->Preferences select Android
C:\PROGRA~1\Android\android-sdk

Android device not found

I'm trying to build "Hello, Android" with the Android SDK, but Android won't say "hello" to me.
I build with the 2.6 version of the SDK and run in Eclipse on Win XP. (I've installed the plug-in.)
Here's what I get:

I got this to work. It may be a timing issue. Have to press Menu button on emulator keypad to unlock the screen. Then the output is displayed.
