Emulator problem

I've been developing (well, experimenting really) under both Visual Studio
..NET 2003 (and the .NET Compact Framework) and Embedded Visual C++ (4.2 SP3,
I think) and have had a problem running the emulator under both
environments.

Basically, after I reboot, I can pick one of the environments and the
emulator appears to startup fine and download, run and debug apps with no
problem. When I try to switch to the other environment, it can't seem to
launch or talk to the emulator. Killing the existing emulator seems to have
no effect. The original environment that first started the emulator can
restart it just fine.

It's all very weird and very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas what could
be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Doug Harber

Damn, it's worse than I thought.

Now the emulator won't connect at all under Embedded Visual C++. It was
working under eVC++ but not Visual Studio .NET 2003. I rebooted and Visual
Studio worked but not eVC++. I rebooted again and eVC++ still doesn't work
but Visual Studio still does.

I don't suppose there's any useful information about how these environments
actually launch and communicate with the emulator. You know, things like
registry settings and other configuration information. Maybe the actual
sequence of events that occurs to launch and communicate with the emulator.

Helpful stuff, in other words. There's such a dearth of it these days.

Thanks,
Doug Harber
