I have tried in both Eclipse ADT and the ddms.bat that comes with the android sdk. Both have the same result: "Failed to initialize Monitor Thread: Unable to establish loopback connection".
However, if I boot my computer in safe-mode, it works just fine. Obviously this means the issue is with some third party service or driver on my computer.
So I went through and stopped every non-critical service on my computer in normal mode and still the ddms returns the error.
How do I identify what is causing the issue?
