windows phone emulator of visual studio 2010

42 views Asked by At

my windows phone emulator on visual studio 2010 does not work. what to do?

windows phone emulator is not supported on this computer because this computer does not have the required graphics processing unit configuration. An XNA Framework game or page will not function without a graphics processing unit. A Silverlight application may run,but with reduced functionality. Do you want to continue starting the emulator?

If I click 'no' it shows error message as invalid command line args.

Based on the error, it sounds like you don't meet the minimum hardware requirements to run the Windows Phone Emulator. I suggest checking your GPU and making sure the OS can see it (ie. Open Device Manager -> Expand 'Display adapters' -> Check what is listed beneath. Chances are you don't meet the requirements as mentioned before. If so, you will either need to get a GPU that meets the requirements, or test on a physical device (as in, not in the emulator). Hope this helps.
