Refer to your Microsoft® documentation for more information, or refer to the documentation that came with the ExpressCard™. Some card manufacturers use special software called enablers to support their cards. Enablers result in nonstandard configurations that can cause problems when installing the ExpressCard™. If your system does not have built-in drivers for your ExpressCard™ and the card did not come with an operating system driver, it may not work under the operating system. Contact the manufacturer of the ExpressCard™ for information about using the card under the operating system. ExpressCard checklist ❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot. ❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected. ❖ Occasionally a defective ExpressCard™ slips through quality control.
