  3. On the shortcut menu, click Build Solution.

  4. On the Debug menu, click Start.

When you run MEDriver.exe, click the Start button at least once, and then click the Advise button several times. Each click of the Advise button adds a sink to the Fire event, which makes the display wider. If you do not click the Advise button, you will not see any activity in the display.
