Troubleshooting on Windows 2000

Check for Incompatible BIOS

In Windows 2000, check with your computer manufacturer to ensure you have a
Windows 2000-compatible BIOS installed. In most cases, you can download the
system BIOS from your computer manufacturer’s website.

If the Driver Does Not Work in Windows 2000

To access Hardware Properties and verify that the 1784-PCD card is OK, follow the
steps below.

1. Double click on the Unplug/eject hardware icon

in

the taskbar.

TIP

Since Windows NT may be using a resource and may not
report it in Windows NT diagnostics, always run the PCD Test
Utility after configuring resources.

If the driver will not start or cannot find a card, try
reconfiguring the resources.

If the IRQ test fails, try another IRQ.

If the memory test fails, try another memory range.

TIP

If you don’t have the icon on your task bar, refer to Show
the Card Unplug/Eject Icon on the Taskbar on page 6-11
