Troubleshooting Guide
Resolving a hardware conflict
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 your version of
Windows.
PC Card checklist
❖ Make sure the card is compatible with your operating system.
❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot. Refer to
“Inserting and removing PC Cards” on page 76 for how to
insert PC Cards, and to the documentation that came with the
PC Card.
❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Make sure the computer has only one version of Card and
Socket Services loaded.
❖ Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality
control. If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is available,
try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions again, it
may be defective.
Resolving PC Card problems
Here are some common problems and their solutions:
The slots appear to be dead. PC Cards that used to work no
longer work.
