Help needed with Compaq Presario 16XL255 PCMCIA slot on Win2000
After installing Win2000 on a Presario 16XL255 notebook the PCMCI slot
is not working. The system does not accept the installation of the correct drivers for both the PCMCIA XIRCOM Ethernet/Modem card and Wireless LAN card. Error code 10 (This device can not start) is given. Pls. advice. Regards, Peter |

This is likely why W2K was not supported on Presarios that did not come with
it preinstalled (I believe only 3-4 units did). It's likely a hardware resource conflict, although I do not have any specific info. You wiped the drive and did a clean install, not an upgrade, correct? HH "Peter" wrote in message om... After installing Win2000 on a Presario 16XL255 notebook the PCMCI slot is not working.

Yes it was a clean install. Crawling over the internet I found the
solution for this problem. - in the bios disable the soundblaster (http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;Q274509&) - download the conextant drivers from driverguid site (user: drivers, pword: all. - make sure that all the modem/sound component are present and do not show any error messages when inserting a pcmcia card. - if the card is not recognized then update the correct driver.
