Customer Support if you are unable to resolve the issues.

the Xircom card and another hardware device. Interrupt conflicts
are the most common. Open the Event Viewer to review errors
encountered during the boot process (Start, Programs, Administra-

to start may help in pinpointing where the conflict lies.
Error messages reporting that the driver failed to start
