Previous installations or interrupted installation attempts sometimes leave
problems that affect card operation. For example, the PC Card might fail to
function, the operating system might not detect the PC Card, or the system might
issue a warning tone at startup. If the installation is unsuccessful, your best course
may be to completely uninstall the card and repeat the installation procedure.
CAUTION: Uninstalling the card ends the network association. To avoid possible
data loss, exit all networking applications before you uninstall the card.
The standard operating system procedure for Windows Me, Windows 98, and
Windows 95 is shown below. Refer to your Windows documentation for the exact
procedure under Windows 2000 and Windows NT.
