Windows NT Installation
3-3
Possible Solutions
Remove the card and reboot NT 4.0 normally. Click OK at mes-
sage 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 Windows 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: service pack X)” is displayed. Or service pack level 1, 2,
3, or 4 will display. 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.
