To uninstall, Run Start | Settings | Control Panel and select Add/Remove
Programs. In the program list, locate your 3
rd
party application (i.e., Card
Works), and click on the Add/Remove button. Once it is removed and
Windows restarts, Windows should detect new hardware and proceed to
reinstall the native PCMCIA controllers. You can verify if your PCMCIA
controllers are operating correctly by looking in Device Manager. Device
Manager will list PCMCIA support and the controllers should not be marked
with yellow exclamation points or red “X”. In addition open Start | Settings |
Control Panel and click on PC Card (PCMCIA) to make sure your PC Card
wizard has been run.
NOTE:
If you fail to uninstall Cardworks correctly, the PCMCIA controllers in
Windows will be rendered inoperative. If you are using an IBM Thinkpad 600
or 770, there is a Support note from IBM (Document ID: THID-3W8LV7)
which addresses this scenario and how to correct it.
