I recently started to learn android app developing and I'm using eclipse. I want to use Bluestacks as android virtual device. When I check for devices in eclipse it shows blustacks

but when I run the app it says

1. When you need Bluestack always download from www.bluestacks.com/ since bluestack comes up which newest version ..and downloading from other sites may lead u with older version of bluestack ect and hence you are stuck with bluestack verison issue .
2. Make sure there is icon in task bar and Quit first and restart once bluestack installed .
3. You can get all bluestack Info at blow steps :

--> type regedit in windows search

Below Image shows u meta data for ur bluestack can u can also find verison of blestack , and provide custom location for ur bluestack for sdcard etc.
