Cant get helloWorld Loaded on AVD

My Helloworld tutorial sample builds and runs just fine, except it doesn't show the text (i.e. loads apps). The only thing I see is that Emulator (Target 2.2 API level 8) comes up with just the "Android" in it. and then the emulator shows up a locked up screen in a while. Here is output from the console

[2010-09-20 10:36:55 - HelloAndroid] Android Launch!

After I exit the emulator, I get the following errors.

Also, is there a way to capture the TEXT from CMD window that runs while the Emulator is coming up?

Simply press on the Menu button in the emulator.

Here is what your console has to say,by any means your eclipse is unable to add the minimum sdkversion to your manifest

WARNING: Application does not specify an API level requirement!

just add the following code to your manifest file and check whether it works or not,also close any open xml file prior to running your application

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

give it a try and say what happens
