Resolving PC Card problems

The slots appear dead and cards that worked no longer
do.
Check the PC Card status:
1Click Start.
2Click My Computer icon with the secondary button,
then click Properties.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
3Click the Hardware tab.
4Click the Device Manager button.
5Double-click the PCMCIA adapter.
6Double-click the appropriate 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.
Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not
required to have its own address.
