Smartphone 5.0 Emulator connection problem

Alright, I'm pissed off beyond limits. I have .net 2.0 beta 2. I can write smartdevice 2003 application and can open emulator w/o any problem but, when I create Smartphone 5.0 project and try to run it, the emulator never shows up. Not only that it also freezes up my .net ide. I don't know what the heck is going on I'm also running norton internet security ( and it worked with it before )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    Thanks all who have helped but, nothing seem to work. Finally, I used my lethal weapon called "Format your machine and install them again"...and now it works...what a pain in the neck it was.

    You may also want to try the DMA patch:

    I would install the patch before debugging - the problem is likely to go away.

    Thanks,

    Wow, that's annoying!

    Can you capture a memory dump so we can investigate   Here is how...

    1) Run taskmgr and find the DeviceEmulator.exe process and its PID value
    2) Run "ntsd -p NNNN" where "NNNN" is the PID value from step 1
    3) At the NTSD prompt, type ".dump c:\hungemulator.dmp"
    4) Type 'q' and hit enter to quit from NTSD

    Then please post the c:\hungemulator.dmp file.  This is a mini-dump of the memory inside the DeviceEmulator process.  With that, we'll figure out why the emulator is hung and not making forward progress.

    Thanks!
