SYMPTOMS

When you insert a PC Card (PCMCIA) device into a CardBus socket, your computer may stop responding (hang), or you may receive an error message that says the card was removed without hitting the stop button.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if you are using a PC Card that is not CardBus aware. Some PC Card devices were developed before CardBus technologies were available, and are unable to correctly identify themselves to a CardBus socket.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, contact the manufacturer of the PC Card to inquire about the availability of a fix for this issue.
