After the second boot with a CardBus PCMCIA controller installed in your
computer, Device Manager may display a red "X" for the two PCMCIA sockets
(meaning they are disabled).

CardBus controllers are dynamically enumerated during the first boot after
installation even though they are installed disabled. On the second boot,
Windows 95 recognizes that the device is disabled and reports this in
Device Manager.

Enable the PCMCIA controller. To do this, follow these steps:
| 1. | In Control Panel, double-click System.
|
| 2. | Click the PCMCIA controller, and then click Properties.
|
| 3. | In the Device Usage box, click the "(Current)" check box to select it.
|
| 4. | Click OK.
|
| 5. | Click Close. When you are prompted to restart the computer, do so.
|
When Windows 95 restarts, the PCMCIA Wizard runs to help you configure the
PCMCIA controller.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Back to the top
CardBus controllers are PCI devices that are dynamically enumerated by
the PCI enumerator. The drivers load during Setup, ignoring the Disable
bit in the registry. During the second boot, Windows Configuration Manager
recognizes the registry entry indicating that the device is disabled,
displays a red "X" in Device Manager, and does not start the controller.
CardBus controllers must be explicitly enabled to invoke the PCMCIA Wizard
on the second boot.
