Debuging my vb.net smart device application

Hi. I used to be able to run my project with break points and then debug the app on the pocket pc 2002/2003 emulator. All of the suden I can't do it anymore. I think all that changed is that I'm now running on Win 2003 Enterprise server where as previously it was running on Win 2000 server. I don't have any problems deploying it, as it creates all the neccesary files in the "\program files\[APP]" path. When I run it it creates the files, and then in the task bar it says "starting application". This is when nothing seems to work. I can go to the file on the emulator and run it, this runs the application and everything works fine, but studio can't start the application on the emulator and thus I can't debug it. I'm not sure, but I think it's got something to do with security issues. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I can't imagine that "all you changed was the OS". It's not like you can do
an 2k to 2k3 server OS upgrade in place.

I know this may seem simple, but you're using a Debug configuration, not a
Release configuration, right?

You might also want to check that you have a valid network connection. MSDE
doesn't seem to be able to debug unless there's a valid, live network
connection. If you're on a laptop or on a computer running dial-up, you may
have lost your connection (wireless dropped out, dial-up connection
disconnected, etc.)

Yes, I know you can't do an upgrade. I just wanted to rule out some of the obvious things by stating that the config should still be almost the same, as well as that I used to be able to debug. What I meant was that I'm still using the same computer, the same USB port, that same version of Visual Studio .Net. Yes I'm running it in Debug mode.

Yes I did check it before, cause I know that there is some cases where Active Sync doesn't work well without a networtk connection. I'm working on a LAN and at the moment I deploy or run the app, I definitly have a network connection. It's running on a Laptop and when I'm at home I also try using Microsoft Loopback Adaptor, but still without being able to debug.

Thanks
