S60 5th Edition emulator startup problem

[gopitek]

Hi all,
I use S60 5th edition SDK and the emulator doesn't start up. My comp's configuration is:
Win XP : Version 5.1 ( Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236 : Service Pack 3 )
RAM : 512 MB
HDD : 80 GB

The epocwind.out reports the following error:

7.930 Assertion failed: Kernel must be unlocked

This is the second time I encounter this error. The first time, I tried the following:
- Use subst drive for SDK
- Reboot my PC
- Change the SDK device ( using devices -remove )
- Launching the emulator via Carbide


None of the above worked and the problem got solved when I uninstalled the SDK and re-installed it. But now, the same problem comes up. Please help !!!

I had almost exactly the same problem. Reinstall the SDK and explicitly use the default directory --> [DRIVE:]/S60/
Then it should work.

Hello guys. I have not the same problem but nearest. My 5th ed emulator started up too slow and it's UI (top window menu) flashed near 2 mins. That was on Windows7 machine. All what helped for me was just reallycleaning for current project.
