compaq presario 1200-xl109 and Netgear FA511
hello,
i am trying to install a Netgear FA511 Network adapter on my old compaq presario 1200-xl 109. as soon as the PC card is in the slot, then the PC freeze and I get a blue screen. after removing the card, I have to shut down the PC and to switch in again. I have performed a " complete system restoration "; then, again after inserting the FA511 card, still a blue screen and the freeze !! my PC has a 64 Mo Ram and is loaded with Windows 98SE 4.10. as available early 2000. thanks for any suggestion michel |

Win9x does not have native drivers so the card must have a specific driver for Win98; sometimes these are in a separate folder on the installation disk. I am *assuming* that a notebook of that vintage has 32-bit PC-Card support - you should verify this. Have you successfully installed any other cards in the PC-Card slot? Check Device Manager and verify that the PC-Card hardware drivers (some vendor name PC-Card Controller in the PCMCIA section) are installed and working properly. Q |
