If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
3 Double-click the appropriate PC Card.
The operating system 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
for more information.
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 Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Notification
Area.
The Safely Remove Hardware screen appears.
2 Click Safely remove for the device you want to swap.
3 Select the item you wish to remove and click OK.
4 Remove the device when told it is safe to do so.

many problems.

Reinsert the card to make sure it is properly connected.
If the card is attached to an external device, check that the
connection is secure.
Refer to the card's documentation, which should contain a
troubleshooting section.
