Symptom


Solution


Check whether your card is fully inserted into the slot.

Check the Web site for your computer to verify whether you have the latest BIOS for your system. If not, download the newest BIOS version and follow the upgrade instructions.

If you are not using the Softex PC Card Controller, reinstall your
