PC Card (PCMCIA) Problems 
If the notebook doesn’t recognize a PC Card 
•  Make sure the card is fully inserted in the bottom slot. 
•  Remove and reinsert the PC Card. 
•  Restart the notebook. 
•  If the card requires an IRQ, make sure one is available. If necessary, set the IRQ to an unused 
value: click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System. On the Hardware tab, 
open the Device Manager, then view resources by type. 
•  Check the HP Business Support Web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) for information about 
installing certain PC Cards. 
•  Make sure your notebook supports the problem PC Card: check the HP Notebook 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 “Using the e-DiagTools Diagnostic 
Tests” on page 29. 
If an I/O card stops communicating properly 
•  The card may have been reset if your notebook went on standby or into hibernation, or turned off. 
Exit any applications, then remove and reinsert the card. 
If a PC Card modem is not working 
•  Disable the internal modem: 
1.  Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System. On the Hardware tab, 
open the Device Manager. 
2.  Double-click Modem to list the current modem devices. 
3.  Double-click the internal modem, then select the option to disable the modem. 
If file transfers through the PC Card are unusually slow or produce timeout errors 
•  Connect the AC adapter. 
Performance Problems 
For best performance with Windows XP, your notebook should have at least 128 MB of memory 
(RAM). 
If the notebook pauses or runs sluggishly 
•  Certain background operations (such as a virus-scanning program) can affect performance and 
response time. 
•  Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to see if an application is not responding. 
•  Restart the notebook.
