Unhappy Emulators don't show up in Eclipse! Please, Help!

Hi, I use the latest version of Eclipse Indigo. I am quite new to Android but I need it as I am working on developing a mobile app.
The problem is:

Any application I try to launch in Eclipse, even just the simple HelloWorld application, the emulator for it does not show up. I have created AVDs for Android 2.3.3 and 2.2 with the required API levels, the Android Developer Tools are installed properly, the needed packages in SDK are installed as well.
Every time when I try to run or debug any application, Eclipse tells me that Emulator has been launched and that everything is running okey but the AVD doesn't show up for some reason. In the devices tab it shows me there are no AVDs detected when actually there are AVDs created which Eclipse shows as available and running.
I have tried to kill the adb.exe from the task manager and restart it but this doesn't help either.
The Java version on my Toshiba lap top is 32 bit, the eclipse is 32 bit, and the sdk is 32 bit.
System type is: 64 bit Operating system, with Intel i3 core processor.

I am mentioning all this as I have tried really so many ways to try and make the emulator show up in Eclipse that it confuses me where the problem is coming from. It might be from my operating system, from my machine itself as it is a relevantly new lap top and might not be compatible with the Android platform or I might be missing some part during the compilation of the app or I have done the installation in a wrong way.

I would appreciate any ideas. Please help me as I cant start the work on my uni project and I don't know how to solve the problem.

Thank you in advance.

When You set up a new android project, You will set witch Target sdk You want to have. You must set up an AVD with the same Target Sdk You choose when You start a new project.
Best is to make an AVD for every Android Sdk. Specially when You want to use example from the book or other books to
