SYMPTOMS
========

The Restart option on the Run menu is only available on eMbedded Visual Basic
(eVB) projects that target Windows CE 3.0-based devices or emulation. You can
only stop Handheld PC Pro and Palm-size PC projects once they are running.

CAUSE
=====

Support for the restart functionality is only available for devices that are
running Windows CE 3.0.

MORE INFORMATION
================

After the application is running either in the emulator (PocketPC only) or on a
remote device, on the Run menu, click Restart to stop the currently running
application, and start a new emulator session to run the application again. You
can also press the SHIFT+F5 key combination to restart the application.

However, if you build a Palm-Size PC or Handheld PC Pro project, this menu option
is not available.
