205 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict Card Information Structure When you insert a PC Card into a slot, the computer attempts to determine the type of card and resources it requires by reading its Card Information Structure (CIS). Sometimes the CIS contains enough information for you to use the card immediately. Other cards must be set up before you can use them. Use the Windows Millennium Edition PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard to set up the card. Refer to your Microsoft documentation for more information, or refer to the documentation that came with the PC Card. Some card manufacturers use special software called enablers to support their cards. Enablers result in nonstandard configurations that can cause problems when installing the PC Card. If the operating system does not have built-in drivers for your PC Card and the card did not come with a Windows Millennium Edition driver, it may not work under Windows Millennium Edition. Contact the manufacturer of the PC Card for information about using the card under Windows Millennium Edition. PC Card checklist ❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot. See Using PC Cards on page 176 for how to insert PC Cards. ❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected. ❖ Make sure the computer is loading only one version of Card and Socket Services. ❖ Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality control. If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is available, try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions again, it may be defective.
