Q:When trying to load the PCnet Mobile NDIS 2 driver in DOS / Windows For Workgroups, I see an error that indicates that the driver in encountering a "Memory Window Error". What can I do to resolve this problem?
A:The PCnet Mobile NDIS 2 device driver requires a 24K memory window in order to successfully load and run. You are seeing this error because your system is unable to allocate the necessary memory window to the driver.

Most PCMCIA Card and Socket Services providers provide a means such as a configuration utility to block out a range of memory for use by clients such as the PCnet Mobile NDIS 2 driver. If you have such an utility, you may use it to block out a range of memory for the PCnet Mobile NDIS 2 driver.

If the PCMCIA device drivers cannot allocate the memory window, it may help to exclude a block from EMM386 if it is used. An example of this is:

DEVICE=C:DOSEMM386.EXE X=D000-D7FF
