Hoping someone on this list knows the answer to this...

We have a software ap running on a notebook computer with Windows2000
system. There is a pcmcia card with a serial port stuck in to interface to
external hardware. The customer has it setup to startup automatically into
the application program.

The problem is that about 10% of the time, the program starts up and either
hasn't found the plugin card yet or it somehow gets configured wrong. Then
the program runs but won't allow comms. The user must exit the program and
restart it.

It appears to be simply due to how windows starts up and how/when/where it
recognizes the plugin card. If this is so, does anyone know how to control
this behavior so the card is found 100% of the time?

Thanks,
Tom M.
