132 Troubleshooting Guide Fixing device-related problems The system doesn't seem to recognize my CardBus PC Card. Make sure the PC Card Controller Mode is set to Auto-Selected (the default setting) or 16-Bit/CardBus. To check this in Windows 95/98: click Start, select Settings, then select Control Panel and click the Hardware Setup icon. To check this in Windows NT: click Start, select Programs, select Toshiba Utilities, click Hardware Setup, then select the Hardware Options button and the PC Card tab. You will need to reboot the machine in order for changes to take effect. The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert a PC Card. The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict between the PCMCIA socket and another device in the system. Make sure each device has its own I/O base address. Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not required to have its own address. Hot swapping (removing one PC Card and inserting another without turning the computer off) fails. Follow this procedure before you remove a PC Card: 1 Click the PC Card icon on the taskbar. 2 Click Stop xxxx, where xxxx is the identifier for your PC Card. Windows 95/Windows 98 displays a message saying you may safely remove the card. 3 Remove the card from the slot. HINT: Windows NT does not support hot swapping. Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer
