Question

Ok so I was working fine with the WP8 emulator but suddenly after going into Hyper-V manager it stopped working, didn’t make any change and even deleted the virtual machine to be created again on debug but no luck

I have tried with the various emulator images but none of them seems to work anymore, event viewer shows no errors on Hyper-V.

What I have noticed is that the virtual machine starts in Hyper-V goes to Windows logo, then hangs for a few minutes in a black screen and turns off afterwards automatically, tried starting it without debuging, directly from hyper-v but nothing works, should I reinstall the SDK? seems to me this is not install related since it worked before

Thanks

Taken from the connect forums, I don’t know if it will fix your problem:

I had issues with the emulator and tried several things, including the below solutions and on a few occasions couldn’t figure out what the problem was so I restored a previous image since that was quick.

From Discussion “RTW – Can’t debug – IP Address Issue”

1. Uninstall the SDK
2. Uninstall and reinstall the virtual switches using:
3. C:> netcfg –u vms_pp
4. C:> netcfg –c p –i vms_pp
5. Reboot
6. Reinstall the SDK

From Discussion “Emulator and wireless adapter issues”

Problem solved! Hyper-V uses same MAC address for guest VMs (virtual
machine) and Host. If the router configured to give the host always
same ip address it will conflict with the emulator. Solution – on the
router remove the host from known PCs and let it give you some new ip
address (not fixed). After you start the emulator it will get the
correct ip address from router. Router will show you two PCs (host and
vm) with the same MAC, but different ip addresses.
