This article was previously published under Q149694 SYMPTOMS
Pcmcia.sys fails with the following error on the Austin Business Audio
DX4 100 Color Notebook computer:
Could not start the Pcmcia service on \\<server name>.
Error 0020: The system cannot find the device specified.
CAUSE
The Pcmcia.sys that ships with Windows NT 3.51 Server and Workstation is
not compatible with the PCMCIA slot of the Austin Business Audio DX4 100
Color Notebook.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install Service Pack 3 or higher or copy
Pcmcia.sys from SP3 to the \\winnt35\sytem32\drivers directory, overwriting
the existing copy of Pcmcia.sys. Then go into the Windows NT Control Panel,
open Devices, and set PCMCIA to either manual or automatic start-up. If you
set it to manual, you will need to start the device through the Devices
dialog box; if you choose automatic, start-up will be automatic when a
PCMCIA device is inserted in the slot.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and
3.51. This problem was corrected in Service Pack 3 for Windows NT.
