- Information
- ISSUE:
The pre-install on the 420 series and possibly future pre-installs
will have CardSoft drivers loading in the CONFIG.SYS.
In Windows 95, if a combo card (Xircom and Megahertz tested) is
present at boot or inserted after boot, CardWizard is launched and
detects the combo card as a modem only. Any future attempt to get the
card detected as a Multi-function card or get the network portion to
work, fails. Modem portion works.
SOLUTION:
When CardWizard detects the card it creates a .INF file in the
C:\WINDOWS\INF sub directory. The .INF filename will begin with an S
then some of the card manufacturer's name then some numbers or
characters. SMEG2D255.INF was created When the Megahertz card was
inserted, SXIRC346.INF for the Xircom. If this file is renamed and any
reference to the combo card in device manager removed and Windows is
restarted, Windows will then correctly detect the card and allow it to
be set up as a multi-function card and it will work correctly without
CardWizard's intervention.
* The C:\WINDOWS\INF directory is hidden. To unhide goto VIEW/OPTIONS-
VIEW tab, and uncheck "Hide files of these types:", check "Show all
files".
