Windows Phone 7 emulator doesn't work properly on my laptop.
It just flickers instead of starting my app. Clicking on any of the buttons has no effect. (None of the emulators work, tried 256MB, 512MB, and the ones installed by WP 7.8 SDK Update) WP 7.8 SDK Update didn't solve anything.
I'm using a Samsung NP300E5A-S06 notebook, and it has:
Core i5 3210M 2.5Ghz
Intel HD Graphics 4000 + GeForce GT 620M
6GB of RAM
Here is a video of what's happening on my machine.
I heard this can be caused by the Intel HD Graphics 4000. But we can't force WP Emulator to use the GeForce.
How can I make the WP7 emulator work properly?
If you have any idea or a working solution, please help me!
Thanks in advance!
First, download and install the latest GPU drivers for both GPUs. If it will help, you're lucky: I had something very similar on machine (dual GPU Intel + NVidia as well), and was unable to find a fix.
My advice - upgrade to Windows 8, install visual studio 2012, and WP8 SDK. Fortunately, with the recent version of the SDK you can still build for the previous WP 7.1 platform. And even if xde.exe still won't work on your laptop, you can test and debug the application you're building on new HyperV-based WP8 emulators.
sorry, I cant comment.
Did you try repairing the installation?
Also completely removing and then re-installing?
EDIT:
Also you can try running it on a virtual machine on your laptop (Maybe there is some problem in your Windows installation - after all its Windows ;) )
i think i have had series of problems with that emulator months ago, but now, all is just well. i have some questions for you.
1) Which version of Visual Studio are you using. i believe it should be visual studio 2010
2) have you installed visual studio 2010 service pack 1? if no, try to download it and install
3) which version of .net framework are you using? Visual Studio installs .net3.0 automatically but i guess you have to install the service pack 1 too. you can download it or get it from windows update. in the update settings, choose"check for updates but let me choose which to download and install" then check the two or three check boxes below. then click okay and check for updates. you will then install updates for visual studio 2010 and .net framework.
those should help.

I need to work on unity 3D and Hololens to predict and map the movement of a machine.I wanted to ask is it possible to use Hololens and trace the movement of a machine by using windows 8? I would also appreciate if anyone could help me with the total installation procedure of how to install and use Hololens since I am new to it.I found some installation guides but that requires Windows 10 and since I have windows 8, anything related to it such as which packages to install, would be very useful.Thank you everyone for your time.

Can I use windows 8 to install and use Microsoft Hololens?
No, you can't.
To build for Hololens you need UWP and UWP needs the requirements below:
Unity 5.2 or later
A Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education (The Home edition does not support Hyper-V)
Visual Studio 2015 RTM, (the minimum version is 14.0.23107.0). Please
note that earlier versions, for example Visual Studio RC, are not
supported in Unity 5.2.
You’ll also need to install the Windows 10 SDK.
8 GB of RAM or more
The source for this information from Unity's blog. In short, you can't because the SDK requires Windows 10.
I am struggling to find information on this. Of course certain features such as docker and hyper-v will not function, but will Visual Studio 2017 be able to be installed and run on a Windows 10 always-connected ARM device? Like, would typical desktop/web development scenarios with .NET/C++/Python work?
Cheers.
Yes, it is possible. I just got a Asus Nova Go and tried it. Compiling and running a basic .net Core app (with an Avalonia UI) worked just fine but there are some limitations and corner cases that hopefully will get fixed.
Visual Studio takes long to launch, and when lauched is not very performant.
I think the Lenovo Yoga C630 is snappier, because of the bigger 8GB RAM and the Snapdragon 850.
If you have any further questions let me know
I installed visual studio express 2013 on my windows 8.1 computer. Everything was fine until I learned that I needed 8.1 pro to have hyper-v to use a phone emulator to run my program. (I think)
Rather than downloading a new operating system, would I be able to use an earlier version of visual studio? If so, which one...
I am very new to phone development and (considering I can't get past the installation stage) would appreciate the simplest explanation out there.
Thanks!
Sadly, no. Hyper-V is a requirement for WinPhone emulation, and it requires Pro, no matter what version of VisualStudio
Note: To use the Windows Phone 8 emulator your PC must have Windows 8
Pro or greater and a processor that supports Second Level Address
Translation (SLAT).

However,you can easily upgrade to Pro, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/feature-packs You just buy an upgrade key and enter it, you don't have to go through the whole install a new OS process
I am developing an application for Windows Phone in Visual studio 2010 ultimate using wp7.1 SDK in Windows 7 32 bit and 3GB RAM. My system often gets stuck and then restarts sometimes when I run the application on wp7 Emulator (2 or 3 times an hour). Before restart it displays the message: "Display driver stopped responding and recovered" and leads to a blue screen displaying "some lines with Contact system admin".
I am not sure why, will need more details. Try installing the 7.1.1 update for the SDK, it is meant for low profile devices, but I am just hoping this will resolve your issues too.

Had the same problem. Just start your sdk installer. There will be a option of repair of deleat. I repaired my sdk first but it still did not work. I then deleted my sdk and reinstalled it. Worked like a charm.
But you must you know that I was not able to delete my sdk too. My antivirus was doing something wrong and stopping the uninstall of my sdk. So I had to delete my antivirus... than my sdk. Than reinstall the sdk, reinstall the antivirus.
It all worked great after.
A while ago Microsoft released a patch to allow the Windows Phone emulator to work in Windows 8. The emulator actually still worked for me without the patch (albeit very slowly), but since I applied the patch it crashes every time.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
your computer graphics card is Intel mobile 965 express?
I think it is a problem with the drivers for that card
in fact try to change the driver to Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and you will see that with this driver if it Works
Sorry for my english
Uninstall your VS.
Install VS again. Then download 7.1.1 from here. It works for Win8 x64 with VS10
