    <h2>Background</h2> <p>A few years ago I was developing for C#, WPF and Silverlight and then moved to developing for Android.</p> <p>I've decided to give Windows phone a try, and install the newest Visual Studio Pro 2012 with its Windows phone sdk, together with the latest version of Windows - windows 8 pro.</p> <p>I've created a new Windows phone project hoping I will start learning from a hello world project, and I've launched the emulator .</p> <h2>Some specs information</h2> <ul> <li>OS is windows 8 pro (final) . 64 bit CPU .</li> <li>Visual Studio Pro 2012</li> <li>Windows phone sdk 8</li> <li>Connected by usb to a wireless D-Link device (<a href="http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/adapters/dwa-140-wireless-n-usb-adapter" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DWA-140</a>) .</li> </ul> <h2>The problem</h2> <p>Just as soon as I've started the emulator, a dialog came asking if I want to enable networking:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/YiHTD.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>When I chose that I want, an error has appeared:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/DA2ce.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>After selecting ok, the emulator crashed. </p> <p>Knowing how to search for solutions on the internet, I've found a few (like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13149509/windows-phone-8-emulator-error-something-happened-while-creating-a-switch">here</a> and <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpdevelop/thread/ca2243db-92fa-448e-b168-ad8199279a2e" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> ) that suggested me to delete the network switches, create an internal switch, and whatnot. </p> <h2>The question</h2> <p>I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and this is just my starting point. Can anyone please help me with this error and how to make the emulator work?</p> <p>Please tell me the exact steps that I need to take.</p> <hr> <p>EDIT: after uninstallation of anything related to VS and WP , i've re-installed them both and i still get the same errors.</p> <p>Not only that , but when trying to create a new external switch (which some websites offered) , it showed me the next error :</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vQSBW.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>How could such a basic feature of an emulator be missing out of the box ?</p>
