Sound cards Often use IRQ 5 and I/O Port addresses 220h
and 330h
PCMCIA.SYS Installs at memory segment D000-D3FF but may
not appear under NT Diagnostics
Possible Solutions
Remove the card and reboot NT 4.0 normally. Click OK at message
stating that a Service or Services failed to start. Use the following
steps to evaluate assigned resources and settings:
1
Under the Device applet in the Control Panel verify that
PCMCIA status is Started and the Startup setting is Boot. If it is
not change it to start on Boot and then restart the computer.
2
Start NT Diagnostics (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools).
3
Under the Version tab note the Service Pack level. The NT 4.0
version is displayed as follows:
MICROSOFT (R) WINDOWS NT (TM) WORKSTATION
VERSION 4.0 (BUILD 1381: SERVICE PACK X)
If no service packs have been applied on Version 4.0, (Build
1381:) is displayed. X is the service pack level, number 1
through 4. Service Packs integrate software upgrades to your
current system and are available from Microsoft.
4
Select the Resources tab. By default the IRQ levels in use are
displayed. Verify that the IRQ assigned to the Xircom card is not
in use by any other device. This list is not inclusive and may not
be completely indicative of resources in use.
5
Click the I/O Port button. Verify that the I/O Port Address
assigned to the Xircom card is not shared by any other device.
I/O Port 0x280 is usually available. This is displayed as:
0280 - 028E CEM56
BUS 0
TYPE ISA
For an I/O Port Address to be usable the entire I/O range must
be available. For example, the above listed I/O range would be
unusable if another device was using any I/O port within that
range.
