The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict
between the PCMCIA socket and another device in the
system. Use Device Manager to make sure each device has its
own I/O base address. See
for more information.
Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not
required to have its own address.

another without turning the computer off) fails
