I had tried your idea but did not fix the issue. I found and fixed it the issue, the emulator is working.
While the emulator was working, i had made am unintended change to my firewall preventing eclipe form accessing the internet. Some time after, after a project build eclipse started mis-behaving. I never connected the two. Once I fixed the firewall and allowed eclipe to access the internet, eclipse was able to start the emulator.
