I`m asking how to enable my VT/NX for my MacBook, when I try to use X86 emulator, it appears to me that VT/NX NOT ENABLED, it had never seem this when I used 10.9 system, after I update my MacBook to Yosemite, it appears to me.

When I try to start my x86 emulator, it tells me:

Starting emulator for AVD 'X86'
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX is not installed on this machine (/dev/HAX is missing).

But the AVD shows me that I had installed HAXM.

When I try to install by myself again, installer prints VT/NX NOT ENABLED.

I can not post any images…

to mindex's answer:

I tried running all versions of Intel HAXM I could get:

IntelHAXM_1.0.8.dmg     
IntelHAXM_1.1.0_for_10.10.dmg     
IntelHAXM_1.1.0_below_10.10.dmg      

But it did not work.

From the Intel Instructions

"The SDK Manager will download the installer to the "extras" directory, under the main SDK directory. Even though the SDK manager says "Installed" it actually means that the Intel HAXM executable was downloaded. You will still need to run the installer from the "extras" directory to finish installation.

Extract the installer inside the "extras" directory and follow the installation instructions for your platform."
