206 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict Resolving PC Card problems Here are some common problems and their solutions: PC Cards that used to work no longer work. Check the PC Card status: 1 Click the My Computer icon with the secondary button, then click Properties. The System Properties dialog box appears. 2 Click the Device Manager tab. 3 Double-click the device listed as your PC Card. Windows Millennium Edition 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 193 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 PC Card icon on the taskbar.
