re: ndis.vxd, ntkern.vxd Thursday, December 4, 2003 at 7:01 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Diane (3 messages posted) I finally got it to work! I'll tell you how I did it, I don't know if it will apply to your situation (my laptop is a toshiba, not a Compaq), but hopefully it'll help. I spoke to tech support at Netgear and the first tech told me that the card was probably defective and to just return it. I did, but got the same results with the new card. The second tech I spoke to told me my laptop probably doesn't accept 32-bit cardbus cards, which is what the WG511 is. I probably needed 16-bit PCMCIA cards. So, I was going to return the card but decided to just double check and found out that my system does accept 32-bit cardbus cards! So now I'm really annoyed and thought I needed to call Toshiba tech support (which is a total nightmare)! Ultimately, I searched around and found out that sometimes in Toshibas you need to change BIOS settings to accept 32-bit cardbus. I checked and, sure enough, my BIOS was set to accept only 16-bit and I just need to toggle the setting to accept both 16 and 32-bit. It worked! But now my laptop freezes everytime I try to configure the card settings. But I think that's because the laptop is pretty old and has an extremely small hard drive. I already ordered a new HD a couple of weeks ago and it's on back-order, so when I get it, hopefully everything will work! Good luck with yours, I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out!
