Troubleshooting Guide
Fixing device-related problems
Some card manufacturers use special software called enablers to
support their cards. Enablers result in nonstandard configurations
that can cause problems when installing another PC Card.
If Windows doesn't have built-in drivers for your PC Card and the
card didn't come with a Windows driver, it may not work under
Windows. Contact the manufacturer of the PC Card for
information about operating the card under Windows.
