I do Android development on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, with a 32 bit JDK and 32 Eclipse 3.5 and have not experienced the emulator crashing.

Have you tried running the emulator with one of the sample applications to ensure it's not your project that's causing the problem?

Beyond that, I'd recommend googling for information on how you can submit an error log to Google.

Emulator runs just fine for me on 64 bit Windows 7. But I have seen emulator crashing when trying to debug. I could start it on it's own, but when I tried to run it from eclipse it crashed. Try this:

  1. Close eclipse and kill adb process
  2. Delete your virtual device and create a new one

Thanks for the post. It seems that I just had to delete the device and create a new one. I don't know what I did wrong in the first place.
