Sorry if this sounds silly, but what happens if you plug it in with the computer switched off and then boot it up?
PCMCIA is supposed to be (sort of) plug n play but windows won't always have it.

Well, it's probably either the card or the PCMCIA slot itself, I'm afraid
Can't be windows because it won't even get that far.
A BIOS update might solve it if it isn't the card that's faulty.

It depends on the make and model of the laptop but basically it's like flashing the firmware on your phone, except you use a floppy disk or CD.
I'm not being patronising here, but you really do have to know what you're doing since, like your phone, if it goes wrong it can kill the PC!

Not really a problem, but I am looking at buying a CHEAP laptop for a holiday I've got coming up so i can store photos, surf the net a bit, burn a few CDs/DVDs.
The only problem is most of the laptops i've seen from high street chains seem to have Vista stuck on them, is there any chance that someone may know of a shop (i'd prefer a fairly well known one) that sells XP based laptops.
