desktop pc locking up

[lizette]

Hi
I have a Hauwei E620 Vodafone data card and want to use it on my desktop pc. I have a PCI 1410 Cardbus controller PCMIA adaptor. My problem is that when I connect to the www using this data card in my desktop pc it locks up after a few minutes. My OS is windows xp pro version 2002 service pack 2. The data card works fine in my acer 4272 wlmi laptop. No locking.Please help me urgently.

... I have a PCI 1410 Cardbus controller PCMIA adaptor...

What make & model is it? - 1410 is AFAIK a Texas Instruments chipset also used in the Elan PIII, but I don't know if that means that the PCMCIA <--> PCI adapter card you have supports 32 bit PCMCIA cards.

The [post=798892]problem might be your desktop PC's BIOS &| chipset...[/post]

Agree with ic, who seems to be always Inherently Correct in his analysis.....

The PCI->PCMCIA adapter card are notoriously finicky to get working, so I first would look here.

Make sure your BIOS is at the latest level and the latest USB patches are loaded for your motherboard.

You might want to try a adapter card based on the Ricoh chip-set.
