If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
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 211
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 Double-click the PC Card icon on the taskbar.
2 Click Safely remove xxxx, where xxxx is the identifier for
your PC Card.
The operating system displays a message that you may safely
remove the card.
3 Remove the card from the slot.
The system does not recognize your PC Card.
Refer to the PC Card documentation.
Removing a malfunctioning card and reinstalling it can correct
many problems.
A PC Card error occurs.
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.
