PC Cards

What should I do if my PC Card does not work?

❑Make sure the PC Card is inserted properly. See Inserting a PC Card (page 45) for more information.

❑Make sure the PC Card is compatible with the Microsoft Windows operating system installed on your computer.

❑See the manual that came with your PC Card for more information. You may need to install driver software if you are not using a Sony PC Card.

❑If your PC Card, which worked normally before, does not work, you may need to install the most recent driver software. Follow these steps:

1 Click Start and Control Panel.

2 Click System and Maintenance.

3 Click System.

4 Click Device Manager on the left pane. The Device Manager window appears.

5 Double-click the device name for the PC Card to display the properties window. 6 Select the Driver tab and click Update Driver.

Why doesn't my computer recognize connected devices?

For some PC Cards, if you alternate between Normal mode and Sleep or Hibernate mode while the card is inserted into the PC Card slot, your computer may not recognize the PC Card or the connected device. Restart the computer.
