There are two scenarios:

Using VMware: go to "WM" > "Settings" > "Processors" and Activate VT-x as below:

Using OS installed on HW: as others mentioned if your CPU supports that you should activate it in your BIOS.

According to Android Documentation, to run an emulator the development system's CPU should support one of the following virtualization extensions technologies:

Intel Virtualization Technology (VT, VT-x, vmx)
AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) -- only supported for Linux

Your CPU is Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7300, which according to the manufacturer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). That's the reason for this error.

The workaround is to use an alternative Android Emulator, e.g. Genymotion, as already suggested.

I suggest that you Just need to follows steps:

First,Go to Control Panel → Program and Feature.
Then, Click on Turn Window Features on and off. A window opens.
Then,Uncheck Hyper-V option and restart your system.

Now, you can Start HAXM installation.

Check this also https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows

OR

You can use Genymotion

If you have changed settings from BIOS, then you just need a restart of your machine.

Buddy, the CPU you mentioned in the above comments doesn't have support for Vt-x.. See this link. – Nishad Nov 11 '16 at 06:09

thanks you so much for your answer. It means i can not run my android program without physical android device? – Imtiaz Ali Nov 11 '16 at 06:14
You can activate developer options on your android device and enable USB debugging, but you will need a USB android driver for your device to be installed on your machine(I did the same by installing SAMSUNG driver.) and then run your application.. or if you just need to look how your program will look on actual device, build an APK of your program, copy it in your device and install.. if this answer clears your questions then please mark it correct.. Thanks. – Nishad Nov 11 '16 at 06:21

For those who might have the problem in these days, you might try the steps described here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/android-emulator-amd-processor-hyper-v.html

Also according to other answers, you have to be sure that CPU does support virtualization, and that the virtualziation is on.

There couple of solutions you can try

You can Make an AVD With ARM Instead of HAXM.
Other solutions can be just to enable Intel Virtualization Technology from BIAS.
Or you can use an alternative emulator like genymotion to fix this problem.

If the above solutions bother you then you can use a physical device for testing purposes.
