You have installed a USB
device, but the notebook
does not recognize the
device, or the device does
not seem to work properly.
(continued)

The device may have
been installed while an
application was running,
so your notebook is not
aware of its installation.

Close the application and restart your notebook.

Your device may not
have the correct soft-
ware driver active.

See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.

The card may have
been installed while an
application was running,
so your notebook is not
aware of its installation.

Close the application and restart your notebook.

Your software may not
have the correct soft-
ware driver active.

See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.

You may have the
wrong I/O address
selected for your card
device.

See your ExpressCard documentation to determine the required
I/O address. Change the settings in the Device Manager
