title: VS Emulator - Windows CE Device Error
body: <p>I'm trying to learn how to write programs for Windows CE 6.0</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and have the Windows Device Emulator v3 installed</p>
  
  <p>I'm running 64-bit Windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to start up the emulator and select "Windows CE" as the device, I get the following error message.</p>
  
  <p>"Connection failed. ActiveSync bootstap initialization failed. Please connect/cradle a real device or download the User-level Windows Mobile Device Center Application from <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=67763" rel="nofollow">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkid=67763</a>"</p>
  
  <p>I've followed the link to microsoft's site but it just leads to a windows phone page that's of no help to me.</p>
