Acer Aspire 5102WLMi - PCMCIA buggered

Hi.

I have an Acer Aspire 5102WLMi with Windows Vista Ultimate x64 installed.

Yesterday, I started getting a conflict error which I later discovered related to my PCMCIA card, and because of this, I have been unable to boot Windows. In Safe Mode, it hangs at crcdisk.sys, and I have read in numerous places, that the next file to load is pcmcia.sys.

On the very odd occasion, this doesn't conflict, and Windows boots. This seems to be quite rare to happen though. Is there anyway I can disable to card? Either permanently, or just in Windows so when it DOES conflict, it doesn't stop Windows from booting?

Thanks.

Hi,

Should be able to go into DEVICE MANAGER in the control panel & right click on the PCMCIA device (that's causing the problem) & select DISABLE. It should already be popped up in device manager with a ! by it.

Shawn,
