Windows 95 Does Not Auto-Detect Some EISA Cards

ID: Q132836

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

Windows 95 does not auto-detect an EISA card when it is added to the system, and prompts you to run hardware detection from the Add New Hardware program.

CAUSE

Some EISA cards report various I/O (Input/Output) ranges that are not the standard I/O for those registers. As a result, duplicate enumeration cannot remove the detected adapters. The Eisa.VxD file ignores any EISA card with these particular identifications.

RESOLUTION

To let Windows detect the EISA card, run hardware detection from the Add New Hardware program.
