I have got a Windows Phone 8 and am trying to register it with the developer account.

I am using the tool "Windows Phone Developer Registration" that comes with Visual studio 2012.

But when I try to register, I get a message

"For Windows Phone8 phones make sure that the Windows Phone IP Over USB Transport(IpOverUsbSvc) service is running"

Would like to know what is this service and how to run it.. Any help will be appreciated.

Go to search in Windows 8 and type "service" under settings, you will find "view Local services" and select it. It opens the services window.

Alternately, Open Control Panel and select "Administative Tools" and you will find "Services" icon in it. Double clicking it also opens the Services window.

After performing one of the above, Find the service with the name "Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc)" and right click on it and Start/Restart the service.
