PC Cards do not function

Make sure you have properly installed the driver for the

card.

Consult the card’s manual or contact the vendor for

trouble-shooting.

The PC card cannot be recognized -

Windows NT4.0 does not support PCMCIA (PC Card)

function. You may need an external program for this.

Make sure the card is fully inserted; the outer end of the

card should be even with the edge of the computer.

Remove and insert the PC card again.
Make sure there is no IRQ conflict with the card. See

Windows on-line help for solving IRQ conflicts.

Reboot the computer and see if the problem persists.
The card may be defective. Try the card on another

system, if possible.

Windows crashes or freezes when you remove the PC

card-

Make sure you have clicked <Stop> before removing the

PC card. Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon at the

lower right corner of the task bar and select the card you wish

to stop. When you click <Close>, Windows will prompt you to

remove the card a few seconds later.
