Nk.bin not executing in emulator

Hi,
I created a custom run-time image file, but its not executing in the
emulator. The emulator window appears but the screen is always black.

I am executing the following statement from command line -

start "" "C:\Program Files\Windows CE
Tools\Common\Platman\bin\Emulator_500.exe" /CEImage
"C:\WINCE500\PBWorkspaces\myworkspace\RelDir\Emulator_x86_Debug\NK.bin"
/ethernet virtualswitch /MemorySize 48

There is no change even when i use a skin.

Please help.

If it's a debug image you should have kitl, kernel debugger and ceshell
enabled and you should launch it using Platform Builder.
If you need a "stand alone" emulator image, deselect the debugging
related options and build it in release.

P.S. check that the emulator works with an image provided with one of
the microsoft SDKs (Standard, PocketPC) and that the image is built
with the same release of CE that the emulator support.

How do i disable kitl and ceshell for release version ? i have put debugger
as none in "connectivity options".

Is it that simple to choose "Emulator x86 release" from drop down menu on
the main page of PB 5.0 eval ?

You've to choose "Emulator x86 release" from the drop down menu, then
select "Settings..." from the "Platform" menu.
The "Platform Settings" dialog will open.
Move to the "Build options" tab and de-select all the check-boxes.
Re-build your platform and use the generated nk.bin in the emulator.
