If Something Goes Wrong
Fixing device-related problems
PC Card problems
PC Cards (PCMCIA-compatible) include many types of
devices, such as a removable hard disk, additional memory,
or a pager.
Most PC Card problems occur during installation and setup
of new cards. If you're having trouble getting one or more of
these devices to work together, several sections in this
chapter may apply.
Resource conflicts can cause problems when using PC
Cards. See
Card Information Structure
When you insert a PC Card into a slot, the computer
attempts to determine the type of card and the resources it
requires by reading its Card Information Structure (CIS).
Sometimes the CIS contains enough information for you to
use the card immediately.
Other cards must be set up before you can use them. Use
the Windows Millennium Edition PC Card (PCMCIA)
Wizard to set up the card. Refer to your Microsoft
documentation for more information, or refer to the
documentation that came with the PC Card.
Some card manufacturers use special software called
enablers to support their cards. Enablers result in
nonstandard configurations that can cause problems when
installing the PC Card.
If your system does not have built-in drivers for your PC
Card and the card did not come with a Windows Millennium
Edition driver, it may not work under Windows Millennium
Edition. Contact the manufacturer of the PC Card for
information about using the card under Windows
Millennium Edition.
