Resolving PC Card problems
Here are some common problems and their solutions:
The slot appears to be dead. PC Cards that used to work 
no longer work.
Check the PC Card status:
1
Click Start.
2
Click My Computer icon with the secondary button, 
then click Properties.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
3
Click the Hardware tab.
4
Click the Device Manager button.
5
Double-click the PCMCIA adapter.
6
Double-click the appropriate PC Card.
The operating system displays your PC Card’s Properties 
dialog box, which contains information about your PC Card 
configuration and status.
The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert a 
PC Card
.
The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict 
between the PCMCIA socket and another device in the 
system. Use Device Manager to make sure each device has its 
own I/O base address. See 
 for more information.
Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not 
required to have its own address.
