I have the same problem on one of my laptops. So I installed Carbide and the SDK 3rd edition MR on my desktop PC and it works fine. I do have to kill the emulator sometimes if it locks up on initialization. This can be seen by watching the hard drive light and when that stops, and you still have the blank screen, I kill it and start the debug again. Also, I have had some success on the laptop with it working one time, then needing a reboot to work again. Also, on a third PC, I can get it to work in debug mode, but not when I just RUN the application. All three PCs used the standard default install. So not sure what is happening here. But I suggest trying to reboot, or run in debug mode or non-debug mode, or just running the emulator from Windows directly (not from Carbide) and see what happens.

Hey, Neil and folks,

Ran into the same wall here... Tried the sample 3rd Edition GUI example on the emulator out-of-the-box. No mods on default drives at all when installing SDK. But emulator starts and stays blank. Edited _EPOC_DRIVE_D in the epoc.ini file as suggested above to no avail. Wondering if you guys have a suggestion on where to look next - log files, config files, etc. I was previously working flawlessly with the S60 2nd Edition CW emulator on Carbide 1.2

Running SDK S60 3rd Ed FP1_4 on WinXP SP2 and Carbide.c++ 1.2 .

Any hint appreciated,

Ewerton.

Welcome to the forum herrucules!!

I would rather say that,its wiser to stick to default drives than try work-arounds..atleast initially.

Well, its completely empty and have no options menu. More precisely the emulator have a completely white screen. Thanks for the reply though.

In the past, in my experience, it has been due to the emulator being installed on a non-default drive/directory.

Workaround has been editing epoc.ini in the .\Epoc32\Data directory and changing _EPOC_DRIVE_D to a fully qualified directory name.

Is it completely empty or does it have an options menu? The helloworld example has an empty screen exept for the options menu. This menu then has options for displaying "Hello World!"
