emulator worked, now tries to load forever

When I first installed eclipse and the sdk, I could get helloworld to load in an emulator just fine. Then I started using my phone directly, but now I need to use the emulator again.

I cant get helloworld to load on the emulator now.

Here's some data:

using: xp, avd manager in eclipse

CONSOLE:

It never gets passed "HelloAndroid] Waiting for HOME" in the console. Notice how it seems to get stuck in "vm aborted" loop.

Im stumped, and ready to reinstall the sdk entirely. Any suggestions before I have to do that? Greatly appreciated.

Don't rush to reinstall the SDK. Try creating a new AVD with the same API level that your original one had and run your app on that one. If that's OK just delete the original one as its image may be corrupted. You won't lose anything and it's not worth spending time on trying to fix it.
