233 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict Most PC Card problems occur during installation and setup of new cards. If you're having trouble getting one or more of these devices to work together, several sections in this chapter may apply. Resource conflicts can cause problems when using PC Cards. See "Resolving a hardware conflict" on page 212. Card Information Structure When you insert a PC Card into a slot, the computer attempts to determine the type of card and the 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 your 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 the Windows® Millennium Edition operating system. Contact the manufacturer of the PC Card for information about using the card under the Windows® Millennium Edition operating system. PC Card checklist ❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot. See "Using PC Cards" on page 167 for how to insert PC Cards. ❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
