MIT app inventor(emulator) not running after installation (of aiStarter)

You only started the aiStarter app you installed to use the emulator. You clicked on the aiStarter icon on your desktop... see #1, then you see a normal black screen that demonstrates that aiStarter is running correctly, next you need to start the emulator (go to Connect > Emulator shown at #3,#4

Use the advice here http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/setup-emulator for more details.

Were you able to start the emulator?
