PC Card support software
does not recognize your
PC Card. Verify that:
If the PC Card is not a modem, ATA, flash, or SRAM card, you must have
the proper client device driver for the card. In Windows 95, the PC Card
must have an INF file associated with it.
Your PC Card supports PCMCIA Release 2.0, 2.01, and 2.10. Refer to the
manual that came with your PC Card.
If your PC Card does not support PCMCIA Release 2.0, 2.01, or 2.10, you
cannot use PC Card Director. Contact your PC Card supplier.
Your PC Card is working by following the diagnostic instructions for your PC
Card, if any.
The PC Card is
recognized by PC Card
support software, but the
“Not Ready” or “Not
Configured” message is
shown. Verify that:
The PC Card enabler is installed.
Refer to the manuals supplied with your PC Card.
If the PC Card is not a modem, ATA, flash, or SRAM card, you must have
the proper client device driver for the card. In Windows 95, the PC Card
must have an INF file associated with it.
The resources for the PC Card are correctly reserved.
Refer to “Checking the Allocated Resources for the PC Card” on page 191.
The PC Card is shown as
“Ready” or “Configured,”
but it does not work
correctly. Verify that:
The resources reserved for the PC Card do not conflict with those for other
system devices.
The resources reserved for the PC Card match the settings in the
application program.
If you are using a modem card, check the COM number, I/O port address,
and IRQ level. If you are using a network card, check the I/O port address,
IRQ level, and memory window address. To check the resources assigned
to the PC Card, check the card information screen or click on the Status
button in the PC Card Director program.
