Other cards must be set up before you can use them. Use the
Windows
card. Refer to your Microsoft
information, or refer to the documentation that came with the
ExpressCard™.
Some card manufacturers use special software called enablers to
support their cards. Enablers result in nonstandard configurations
that can cause problems when installing the ExpressCard™.
If your system does not have built-in drivers for your
ExpressCard™ and the card did not come with an operating system
driver, it may not work under the operating system. Contact the
manufacturer of the ExpressCard™ for information about using the
card under the operating system.
ExpressCard checklist

Occasionally a defective ExpressCard™ slips through quality

available, try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions
again, it may be defective.
