PC Card problems

PC Cards (PCMCIA-compatible) include many types of
devices, such as a removable hard disk, additional memory,
or a pager.

Most PC Card problems occur during installation and setup
of new cards. If you’re having trouble getting one or more of
these devices to work together, several sections in this
chapter may apply.

Resource conflicts can cause problems when using PC Cards.

Card Information Structure

When you insert a PC Card into a slot, the computer attempts
to determine the type of card and the resources it requires by
reading its Card Information Structure (CIS). Sometimes the
CIS contains enough information for you to use the card
immediately.

Other cards must be set up before you can use them. Use the
Windows

®

XP PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard to set up the card.

Refer to your Microsoft

®

documentation for more

information, or refer to the documentation that came with the
PC Card.

Some card manufacturers use special software called
enablers to support their cards. Enablers result in
nonstandard configurations that can cause problems when
installing the PC Card.

If your system does not have built-in drivers for your PC
Card and the card did not come with an operating system
driver, it may not work under the operating system. Contact
