Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
This chapter describes the problems that may occur when installing a PC Card and their corresponding
solutions.
Symptom Solution
Windows does not
detect the PC Card when
installed.
Verify that the PC Card is properly
inserted into the PC Card slot.
Check whether the computer has a
Plug and Play BIOS.
Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP might not
detect the PC Card if a previous
installation of the PC Card was
cancelled before it was finished.
Remove the previous driver, and perform
the installation again.
Driver fails to load
A resource conflict could exist.
For Windows 95/98/ME/2000, use the
Device Manager to resolve resource
conflicts.
Select System from the Control Panel,
then click on the Device Manager tab.
Device conflict on a
Windows system
A device conflict under Windows
95/98/ME/2000 may be related to
the PC Card.
For Windows 95/98/ME/2000, use the
Computer properties to identify the
used I/O port addresses and IRQ
values.
If there is a device conflict, select
alternative settings for I/O Base Address
or IRQ values. If you know which device
is conflicting with the PC Card, you have
the option of changing that device’s I/O
address or IRQ instead of changing the PC
Card.
