Resolving PC Card problems

Here are some common problems and their solutions:
PC Cards that used to work no longer work.
Check the PC Card status:
1 Click the My Computer icon with the secondary button, then
click Properties.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
2 Click the Device Manager tab.
3 Double-click the device listed as your PC Card.
Windows Millennium Edition displays your PC Card's
Properties dialog box, which contains information about your
PC Card configuration and status.
The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert a PC
Card.
The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict
between the PCMCIA socket and another device in the system.
Use Device Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O
base address. See
page 193
Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not required
to have its own address.
Hot swapping (removing one PC Card and inserting another
without turning the computer off) fails.
Follow this procedure before you remove a PC Card:
1 Click the PC Card icon on the taskbar.
