Pcmcia Cardbus USB 2.0 hangs Windows XP.

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Ok just curious - not knowing whatt I am doing, I'd just like to know -
you say you put in card and turned on the computer - what happens if you
wait until the computer boots up completely, and then insert the card into
the slot?

I would suggest you check for Toshiba driver updates for your laptop. I
had a somewhat similar problem for my Dell, and this Dell driver update
took care of it: O2Micro OZ6912 PCMCIA Card Controller

When searching for this problem, I found a number of reports that
indicated their resolution was to enter BIOS setup and disable legacy
USB. Maybe it would work for you.

Maybe I have figured this out?? Probably not. ---> With Windows XP,
shouldn't all PCMIA cards all be plug & play - all meeting certain
requirements and XP having a driver ALREADY that can do the job??
Check and see if those drivers you installed are meant for Win 98 or Win
2000. CDs that come with stuff are usually meant for older operation
systems only. Try to remove the drivers you installed and plug it in then
& see what happens.

I have info from vendor - pcmcia card was broken. So... if somebody
will have similar problems this could be hardware fault.
