It's been awhile since I've run Android 4.3 x86 on my laptop, it used to work just fine. After the usefulness or lack there of with running Android on a pc without ARM support, I edited the grub launch to default to windows and never really paid attention to it again, until today!

I was trying to find a way to install cox contour on my Galaxy S4 by downloading the apk, then moving it to my phone. but it's not compatible, OR Cox don't want it to be installed on anything but a few devices... BUT, oddly my Android x86 install was listed and i had it install next time i stared Android x86... so i rebooted my laptop into Android. everything was great,it downloaded contour but said there wasn't enough room, then it's proceeded to update apps on it's own...

It froze... I powered off the laptop and booted back into Android and it would freeze on the logo screen, i booted into debug mode, and it froze at the logo screen... so idk, i pressed and held the volume up+down keys on my laptop like you would the phone... that brought up the screen in the attachment...

Seems like some infinite loop. could it be a lack of scape in the default 512mb space given to it's img file? is there a command to expand it? or... lol, do i just need to install over what is there?

Basicly all i need is to install and login to google play so i can get a app to get the device id, then i can download the apk in windows and move it to my phone. but, I have to get Android x86 working again. Thanks for any help!
