If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict 197 2 Double-click the appropriate PC Card, which will be listed under one of the categories shown, for example: Disk drives, Network adapters, Other, etc. The operating system displays your PC Card's Properties dialog box, which contains information about your PC Card configuration and status. 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. Use Device Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O base address. See "Fixing a problem with Device Manager" on page 187 for more information. 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 Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Notification Area. The Safely Remove Hardware screen appears. 2 Click Safely remove for the device you want to swap. 3 Select the item you wish to remove and click OK. 4 Remove the device when told it is safe to do so.

For more information on Hibernation and Sleep modes see "Hibernation mode" on page 73 and "Sleep mode" on page 74. The system does not recognize your PC Card. Refer to the PC Card documentation. Removing a malfunctioning card and reinstalling it can correct many problems.
