PC Card (PCMCIA) Problems

If the OmniBook doesn't recognize a PC Card

Remove and reinsert the PC Card.
Insert the PC Card in a different slot.
Press the blue power button to suspend the OmniBook, then press it again to resume.
If the card requires an IRQ, check that there is one available. If necessary, set the IRQ
to an unused value manually.
If you're using Windows 95 or Windows 98, look in Device Manager under
Properties, Interrupt Request (IRQ).
If you're using Windows NT, click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Windows
NT Diagnostics.
Check the HP Customer Care website (http://www.hp.com/cposupport/eschome.html)
for information about installing certain PC Cards.
Reboot the OmniBook.
Zoomed Video is supported in the lower card slot only.
Windows NT does not support Zoomed Video.
Try the card in another computer.
Not all 3rd party PC cards have been tested with the OmniBook. Please check the
OmniBook website (http://www.hp.com/omnibook) for a list of approved and tested
PC Cards.
Certain Xircom CE2 (IIps) LAN cards conflict with the game port device in Windows
2000. Contact Xircom to see if your card is one of these.
When using a PC card in a docking system, insert or remove the card while the
system is turned on or shut down, but not while the computer is suspended.
