Windows xp didn't detect a new peripheral.<BR /><BR />With the drivers package from the vaio-style website, i can't find drivers for the pcmcia port Windows xp install his generic driver, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried to install some, but it's go nowhere.<BR /><BR />All i can do now, it's to give you the pcmcia information i get from the software called "everest".<BR /><BR />It said that :<BR /><BR />Fun_0 VEN_104C DEV_8031 REV_00<BR /><BR />It also said it is a :<BR /><BR />Texas instruments pci xx21 or x515<BR /><BR />I found drivers who seems to be good, but when i've installed them, nothing more happens when i insert a card.<BR /><BR />I'm really disapointed, because this is the unique part, i'm not able to install.<BR /><BR />Could you please help me a little, i'm really appreciate it !<BR /><BR />PS: Sorry for my bad english wroten, i'm french user.<BR /><BR />PS2 : This a link for this model : <A href="http://www.vaio-link.com/downloads/select/select.asp?l=fr" target="_blank">http://www.vaio-link.com/downloads/select/select.asp?l=fr</A><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 May 2006 09:35:15 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/pcmcia-problem-with-vgntx1-xp-b-laptop/m-p/95890#M94022 vraiages 2006-05-15T09:35:15Z https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/pcmcia-problem-with-vgntx1-xp-b-laptop/m-p/95891#M94023 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi vraiages and welcome to Club Vaio.<BR /><BR />Sorry to hear of your dilemma but rest assured that you are not alone as migrating from the original operating system is fraught with problems.<BR /><BR />Usually the PCMCIA device uses the default Windows driver pcmcia.sys.
