If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
Some discs run correctly, but others do not.
If the problem is with an application CD-ROM, refer to the 
software’s documentation and check that the hardware 
configuration meets the program’s needs.
The color of the materials used to make the disc can affect its 
reliability. Silver-colored CD-ROMs are the most reliable, 
followed by gold-colored CD-ROM. Green-colored CD-ROMs 
are the least reliable.
Sound system problems 
You do not hear any sound from the computer.
Adjust the volume control.
If you are using an external headphone or speakers, check that 
they are securely connected to your computer.
Check to ensure that the sound function is enabled.
PC Card problems 
PC Cards (PCMCIA-compatible) include many types of devices, 
such as a removable hard disk, additional memory, or 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 
Card Information Structure
When you insert a PC Card into a slot, the computer attempts to 
determine the type of card and resources it requires by reading its 
Card Information Structure (CIS). Sometimes the CIS contains 
enough information for you to use the card immediately.
