title: How to get Windows Mobile Device Center To Connect to the Emulator
body: <p>I have recently installed Windows 7 and I have come to a conclusion.  While Active Sync was old and did not work great, it did work.  I could connect to my devices and emulators after the proper rituals and incantations.</p>
  
  <p>The other conclusion I have come to is that <em>Windows Mobile Device Center</em> is worse that Active Sync was.  I cannot get it to reliably connect to my emulator (yes, I have set the connection type to DMA) despite how many times I cradle and uncradle.  (The emulator connects to the Visual Studio Debugger just fine though.)</p>
  
  <p>With active sync I had to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2951922/device-emulator-mananger-and-activesync">manually press the connect button</a> in the connection settings after cradling the emulator.  The biggest change I can see with <em>Windows Mobile Device Center</em> is that they removed that button.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get Active Sync to work on Windows 7 so I don't have to deal with this?  Or is there some  way to get it to connect to Windows Mobile Device more reliably?</p>
