Last update: Intel have released a hotfix for windows 8.1

For now, using GenyMotion for my hardware accelerated emulator needs.

Update: Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) rev. 4 from the Android SDK Manager supports Windows 8.1. It supersedes the hotfix described below.

From Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager, install haxm-windows_r03_hotfix.zip, which is a Windows-8.1-specific hotfix. If you previously ran the HAXM installer bundled with the Android SDK, uninstall it first.

To aid setup of future development computers, I put the following in the Build Instructions section of my project's readme:

Run the Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) installer: - On Windows 8.1, from [HAXM](http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager), install `haxm-windows_r03_hotfix.zip`, which is a Windows-8.1-specific hotfix. - On Windows 8 and earlier, install `adt\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\IntelHaxm.exe`.

SOLVED!

Great news: The hotfix is available for download! Please go to http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager/ . There is a hotfix for Microsoft Windows* 8.1 and for OS X 10.9. Let us know if the hotfix is working for you.

I installed it and HAXM works. Hope that no BSODs any more.
