Incase the Windows Device Manager displays the PCMCIA socket but no name for the card, the card insertion has been recognized but the socket could not read the device's configuration information from the card, this indicates a problem with the PCMCIA socket installation. To rectify this problem, remove the PCMCIA socket listing from Device Manager, reboot the computer, and allow the Windows Plug-n-Play process to detect the socket and install the appropriate driver for it. If the names of the PCMCIA cards do not appear after the reboot, the reinstallation process was not successful. Therefore, the PCMCIA socket you are using is not supported by the operating system version.

Incase the names of other PCMCIA cards do appear in the Device Manager, but the card has a question mark, it is likely that the card has been damaged. To test the PC Card device, insert a different PC Card device of any type in the slot. If the other card works, it is very likely that the card in question is damaged.
