help with PCMCIA

Archived from groups: comp.os.ms-windows,comp.os.ms-windows.setup,comp.sys.ms-windows,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have a Del Inspiron 6000 running windows xp home edition
I recently purchased a Transcend 5-in-1 Adapter for the PCMCIA slot so I can
read Smart Media from my camera.
the instructions indicate I need to put the SmartMedia cart in the PCMCIA
read before plugging it into the computer where it will be recognized.


you guessed it - I do not see anything mounted. I have tried it as ADMIN and
normal user. I have tried add h/w wizard in Control Panel - again nothing.

any suggestions how to get this working?

I do not know about the Windows Image Acquisition Service! How do I find
out? How do I start it?
This is new laptop and first PCMCIA device I tried. my son tried card in
another system - he said he did not see it scan either so the card may be
DOA.
