•  Restart the computer: click Start, Shut Down (or Turn Off Computer), Restart.

unused value manually (Windows 98 only): click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then 
double-click System and use the Device Manager tab. 

•  Check the HP Business Support web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) for

web site (www.hp.com/notebooks) for a list of approved and tested PC Cards. 

•  Try the card in another computer to see whether the card functions properly.

•  Test the PC Card with the e-Diagtools diagnostics—see “Testing the Hardware” on 

page 129.
