Android 4.1 Emulator Problem

I upgraded my JDK and SDK so that I could compile my apps for devices running the latest Android. I insalled both the 4.1 and the 2.2 packages.

Then, in B4a I created 4 new virtual devices, 1 for a 7 inch tablet and 1 for a 10 inch tablet for both the 2.2 ARM and the 4.1 ARM. When I try to start the emulator for either tablet using the 4.1 ARM, nothing happens at all, not even the starting progress bar dialog box. When I try to load any of my apps, including the tablets, using the virtual devices for the 2.2 ARM, I get this error message in the progress bar dialog.

"Failed to create context 0x3005
emulator: WARNING: Could not
initialize IES emulation, using
software renderer."

What have I done wrong? Thankss.

Android 4.0 is backwards compatible with previous versions. In the long run I recommend you to get a real Android 4.0 device. These devices are usually faster, which makes development easier.

I think we're on the same page -- I just ordered one!

Also, rather than starting a new thread, I need to ask what is probably a dumb question, but I've encountered this issue with other development packages. I've received the notice for the latest B4a (2.20). Do I (or shouild I) uninstall my current version of B4a (2.02) before installing 2.20?

Thanks ever so much for your help and patience.
