234 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict ❖ 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. Resolving PC Card problems Here are some common problems and their solutions: The slots appear to be dead. 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. 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 214 for more information. Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not required to have its own address.
