TOPIC


    I recently purchased a Global Village PowerPort Platinum PC Card for my PowerBook 5300 computer. It has been working fine for several days, but now it does not show on my desktop when I insert it. I can still use it for fax or data communication as if it is there.

DISCUSSION


    The PC Card Extension must be loaded at startup in order for your PC Card to appear on the desktop. You can still use your PC Card even though it does not appear on the desktop but you will have to use the eject button next to the PC slot to eject the card.

    Verify that the PC Card extension is in the Extensions folder of your System Folder and that it has not been disabled in the Extensions Manager control panel. Restart your PowerBook. Your card should appear when the computer completes its startup sequence.
