Did you change anything on the Windoze side (service pack, security 
patch) ? It may have changed some physical setting parameter on the card 
which in tuirn has stopped the eCS configuration from working. Given two 
removable PCMCIA cards are affected however this is unlikely. I would 
check the BIOS settings however. Another possible is that the IRQ 
allocated to PCMCIA/Cardbus has changed and now conflicts with e.g. USB. 
Under Windoze there are less problems with IRQ conflicts as windoze 
simply doesn't check so often as OS/2. Try disabling anything you don't 
use in the BIOS - e.g. Infrared, parrallel printer port.

Cheers/2
