Resource conflicts can cause problems when using PC Cards.

.

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 the 
manufacturer of the PC Card for information about using the 
card under the operating system.

❖

Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.

❖

Make sure all cables are securely connected.

❖

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.
