Eclipse android emulator freezes

sorry if this is a dumb question. im very new to development.

When I run the emulator on android, instead of loading up a home screen. it just stays at this screen: screenshot

I don't get any error codes or anything, and it does NOT freeze my entire computer or eclipse, it just freezes the emulator and doesn't move on. I just have to press the (x) button to exit it. so I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this and thanks !

edit

I would also like to mention that after a really long time I get this screen screenshot

Solution

Better option is to use bluestacks android emulator. In my opinion, it is much faster than Google Android emulator.

Here are steps for setup:

1 - Install bluestacks emulator

2 - Open cmd

3 - Type command: set path="Android SDK\config\platform-tools" (you need to enter the full path where is your adb.exe located

4 - adb connect 127.0.0.1

Now you should be able to run apps directly to BlueStack emulator from your IDE.
