I finally got this to work — I would click “cradle” and nothing would happen. I finally went back to the Control Panel for the nth time, clicked Windows Mobile Device Center, went to Windows Mobile Device Settings, then Connection Settings, and darned if the “Allow connections to one of the following” wasn’t set to Bluetooth. It *has* to be set to DMA. Once I did this, it worked. I hit “cradle” and it recogniced the emulator PocketPC. I spent practically all day getting the project set up so I could emulate a Motorola Q on Vista.

Hi, Domagoj
I also saw couple times that it just stopped working. I killed mobile device center processes and restart Visual Studio, it worked again.

I did all this and nothing. Mobile DC doesn’t even blink when I cradle the emulator. Sometimes it works, but most of the time, he’s playing dumb. I’m REALLY pissed right now, and seriously thinking of going back to XP. And to think of that I was the biggest defender of Vista in my company. Deadlines are pushing me AND I CAN’T CRADLE THE F…. EMULATOR”!$#!”$
