PC Cards (PCMCIA-compatible) include many types of devices, 
such as a removable hard disk, additional memory, or a pager. 

Most PC Card problems occur during installation and setup of 
new cards. If you’re having trouble getting one or more of these 
devices to work together, several sections in this chapter may 
apply.

Resource conflicts can cause problems when using PC Cards. See 

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

®

 Millennium Edition 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 a Windows

®

 Millennium Edition 

driver, it may not work under Windows Millennium Edition. 
Contact the manufacturer of the PC Card for information about 
using the card under the Windows

®

 Millennium Edition operating 

system.

Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
