PDA emulator can not connect to network

After installing LabVIEW 8.5 on a laptop with WINDOWS VISTA I tried to test PDA-Tutorial PocketPC.lvproj. After loading the OS into the emulator I receive the error message: "No VPC networkadapters enumerated or no host networkadapter with provided MAC address found".
After that "Enable NE2000 network card" in the emulator configuration is deselected. If selected again, the bindings are still disabled.
The laptop has a wireless network card, and I checked, that "Virtual Machine Network Services" is used.
On my former installation (LabVIEW 7.1 on WINDOWS XP) I could test the emulator with Platform Manager. What can I do now?
In addition I have installed VirtualPC 2007 (which works fine) and Mobile Device Center 6.1 (which I can not test, since I have no device at this time).
Many thanks for assistance
Peter

Have you installed the Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0 on your Vista machine? To enable the network adapter on Vista, you need to have Device Emulator 2.0 and Virtual PC 2007. The PDA Module currently installs Device Emulator 1.0.

Hello MIKO, many thanks for yor advice. It worked!! I downloaded the wrong version of Device emulator 2.0: Device Emulator 2.0 Beta (not suitable for VISTA) The VISTA situation is really confusing at the moment if you dont have the proper links. Even the ReadMe of PDA 8.5 does not tell you those details. Again, many thanks for your fast advice. Peter
