Save emulator state causing problem

[davros51]

I made the mistake of saving the state when closing down my app on the Visual Studio 2005 emulator. I made a change to the program and now when I try to deploy the app I get this error...

Error 1 Deployment and/or registration failed with error: 0x8973190e. Error writing file '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\ASWPortrait\ASWPortrait.exe'. Error 0x80070020: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

Is there any way to prevent the emulator from loading the state? I deleted the .vsv file hoping this would solve the problem but there is no difference. I tried shutting down VS 2005 and restarting but it did not work. I even restarted my computer to clear the memory to no avail. Any ideas?

yes if you close the emulator and dont select the save state option it will delete the saved state. and next time you use the emulator it start from the beginning again

I am still getting an error when trying to start the program. The message says, "The data necessary to complete this operation is not yet available."
When I start hte app the emulator says it is restoring state. Could this be related to the deletion of the .vsv file and if so is there a way to get the emulator back to its original way of working? In the meantime, I am using one of the other emulators but it is not the same kind as that which will use the program I am developing.

Is it VS2005 or VS 2003

I am using VS 2005 programming in Visual Basic. The worst thing about this problem is I just started this project and hav a lot of code to add.

I guess you need to clear the state by going Emulator menu file and clear Saved State, its going to solve ur probelm, i had same problem now its working...

Im receiving also receiving the same error sometimes using a Bluetooth usb adapter with ActiveSync when the .exe is deploying on the pda at 30%, Ive seen changing the COM port works most of the times.
Just unplug the usb stick into another usb and it will run fine.

Also try a soft or hard reset.
