FAQ
|
|
---
|
|
Q. Why does the simulator not work on Windows XP or earlier Windows releases?
|
|
A. The Windows SideShow platform and simulator is supported only on Windows Vista.
|
|
|
|
Q. Why don't I see the sample application on the device?
|
|
A. Make sure you register the application with the appropriate .reg file (in the sample folder). Then start the simulator and enable it through the Windows SideShow control panel. See the steps to run a sample. Examine your registry and make sure that registry entries for the sample point to correct location for the executable.
|
|
|
|
Q. Why is there no data sent to the device?
|
|
A. Ensure that the application is enabled and appears on the simulator. Ensure that you run the simulator and then run the sample application.
