The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q135151

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Suspend command on a Dell Latitude XP laptop computer connected to a port replicator, PCMCIA devices may not reactivate when you resume the system.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the computer contains a BIOS version of A05 or earlier. BIOS versions A05 and earlier do not send an Advanced Power Management (APM) resume event to reenumerate PCMCIA devices when the computer is connected to a port replicator.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, do not use the Suspend command when the computer is connected to a port replicator.

To resolve the problem, please contact Dell Technical Support to inquire about obtaining an updated BIOS.
