190 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict Resolving ExpressCard problems Here are some common problems and their solutions: The slot appears to be dead. ExpressCards™ that used to work no longer work. Check the ExpressCard™ status: 1 Click Start. 2 Click My Computer icon with the secondary button, then click Properties. The System Properties dialog box appears. 3 Click the Hardware tab. 4 Click the Device Manager button. 5 Double-click the ExpressCard adapter. 6 Double-click the appropriate ExpressCard™. The operating system displays your ExpressCard's Properties dialog box, which contains information about your ExpressCard™ configuration and status. The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert an ExpressCard™. The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict between the 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 177 for more information. Since all ExpressCards™ share the same socket, each card is not required to have its own address. Hot swapping (removing one ExpressCard™ and inserting another without turning the computer off) fails. Follow this procedure before you remove an ExpressCard™: 1 Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the System tray. 2 Select the item you wish to remove. 3 Click Stop. 4 Remove the device when prompted to do so. 5 Click OK three times to close the Safely Remove Hardware screen.
