Problem:
The host system will not configure the card or the system shuts
down after the PC Card is inserted.
Possible Cause:
Host hardware may not supply enough power to the
PCMCIA slot.
Solution:
Check to make sure the PCMCIA slot is rated to supply enough
power to the card. On some palmtop and battery powered
systems, there is a specified limit to the available power a
PCMCIA slot can use. In this case, try installing the card when
the system is powered by the AC adapter.

Problem:
Card Services will not respond to card insertion events.
Possible Cause:
Memory conflict, External floppy or hard disks, VGA
video cards, SCSI adapters, LAN Network adapters.
Solution:
Consult the Card Services documentation for instruction on
memory requirements. If using DOS, it will probably be
necessary to exclude a specified memory range in the
CONFIG.SYS file.

Problem:
PC Cards that are inserted will not configure properly or Card
Services reports that the card is not recognized.
Possible Cause:
Memory shadowing conflicts.
Solution:
Make sure that memory shadowing in the PC is disabled in the
regions that memory windows are being used by the host
PCMCIA adapter.
