Encountered this error message when launching AVD in Eclipse IDE: "could not get wgl getextensions string arb"

 I tried to run the sample "Hello World" app and kept getting error message: "could not get wgl getextensions string arb" and Home screen would not show up. The fix is simple though, just locate your installation location of Android SDK\tools\lib and copy this location (for me the location is C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\tools\lib) and open Control Panel, System, Advanced Settings, and Environment paths.
 Click Add New. For the variable name, use: ANDROID_SWT and for the Path write in your path to tools\lib and click OK twice. Now the Android Virtual Device runs without any errors. That is so long as you have setup the paths to Java JDK, etc. already.
 Error came back upon second launch. I have ATI HD 4200 Radeon Mobile video card and downloaded latest driver and installed and the error has gone away.
