Hi Marv Dalvers,
Do you see some failure output when run app in simulator?
And try the following steps, which I found from the fourm:
1. remove the bin/obj folder
2. update your ATI drivers
3. Changing the following key in the registry to 1 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyChildConnections
4. move the project to another place and rebuild it
5. reinstall VS 2012
Hope these can help you, good luck.
