I've installed Visual Studio 2012 on my laptop, then I installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0. Then I made a test project. But when I click Emulator WVGA 512MB a pop-up window came up and it showed the following error message :

 Can't start the Windows Phone Emulator

 The Windows Phone Emulator couldn't start because 
 the hypervisor isn't running. The likely cause is that
 hardware-assisted virtualization isn't turned on.

 Check you PC's BIOS and make sure that hardware-
 assisted virtualization and hardware-assisted data
 execution protection are turned on.

Then an error is shown, which is 0x80131500, My SLAT in BIOS is enable and My PC configuration is 

 Windows 8 Pro

 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @ 2.27GHz 2.27GHz
 Installed memory (RAM):  3.00 GB (2.86 GB usable)
 System type:    64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
 Pen and Touch: No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display

my Virtualization of BIOS is also enabled

I also had the same issue,it was because i haven't enabled the Hyper-V platform in the windows features tab, to enable the goto startscreen and type optionalfeatures click on Hyper-V ,check on Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform if you already have them enabled try to remove and re-enable them.

To turn Hyper-V back on, use:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype on
or
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
and reboot.
