Guest Ladama Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 thx , but that's not an option (yet) ;) i'll look into it, ah well maybe a fresh install after 48 weeks isn't the worst thing that could happen to my computer :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ladama Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Ok, i don't if anyone is interested but i found the solution :lol: Well i'm a bit of a tweaker :( so i like to fiddle with the stuff you find in various "Tweak Guides" , well i found the "tweak" that is responsible for the reboot when i start the emulator... go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENTCONTROLSET/CONTROL/SESSION MANAGER/MEMORY MANAGEMENT/ if you see that "LargeSystemCache" is set to 1 then that is the cause of the rebooting.... set it to 0 , reboot and it should work ;) I hope someone else finds this usefull (but i doubt it :lol:) DavidRM , did you maybe "tweak" that setting too ?

Guest rmorris Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 I've also just hit this problem....I've been working with the GAPI for the past two-months, then accidently deployed to the emulator only to find the XP startup logo in my face. I looked in my registry at this LargeCacheSize setting, its alreay set to zero. I have Windows XP (clean as in shipped with a new DELL pc), no other development apps, Embedded Tools 3.0 (2002 Edition) with both PPC and SP SDKs. I tried re-installing these tools, and yet i still have a problem starting up the emulator. I also have a valid network connection.... so any help would be great, don't really want to re-install XP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wolfe Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 I have had this problem on and off since last July (2002). I get around it by: (1) Deleting the previous emulator state that has been saved in my "Documents and Settings" directory, under Application Data. The emulator state is a large, 7-9 MByte file - easy to spot - with a strange name. (2) Reboot my PC (3) Log in and try to start a lot of different applications (4) Exit out of a few of the applications, and start them again (5) After a while (the more times I have rebooted, the more time I spend opening and closing and opening applications), I try to start the eMbedded Visual C++ version 3.0 IDE. (6) I then use the Tools | Configuration Manager | Smartphone 2002 Emulation | Properties | Test button to bring up the Emulator. Sometimes I will get rebooting happening A LOT before the emulator finally does not reboot my desktop. Once I get past the rebooting all the time, then the emulator is fairly stable for a while. NOTE: Once I have the emulator up and running, I very rarely close the emulator. I try to keep the emulator up all day whenever possible. I hope this information helps... -- John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
