Windows Forum / Windows Me / Hardware / April 2006Win Me, PCI Error on startup!!
Hi, i installed a pcmcia card for a wireless adapter in an open pci slot. (last open slot). When i go to restart windows, it gives an error # 0021-98:PCI error. Then it gives you options to continue by hitting the F1 key and it will boot the rest as normal and the device does work after that. Very annoying error. Is there a reason it does this? Configuration perhaps. Thanks in advance.....Paul Try changing the slot in which the card is installed - preferably move it away from the graphics slot.

All of the pci slote are full now with the lastest card as described. Thanks.. > Try changing the slot in which the card is installed - preferably move it > away from the graphics slot.

I'd place this card furthest from the AGP/video slot, and put almost anything else (except a soundcard) next to the video slot Details help!

I reset cmos and it gave me another error 0012-34: incorrect pci config. Thanks > how many slots are there? > What's in them?

That error message merely means that the CMOS has noted the change, AFAICT - although the verbiage accompanying the number is usually 'System Configuration Error' - did you go back into the BIOS to accept it? (F2, perhaps?) (FYI, the original error apparently means "If you don't use the HP preload software, the IDE drivers must be loaded.") Ah - no AGP video, then .... Hmmm - if accepting the BIOS change recognition doesn't work, then try this 1 Video 2 Network 3 USB 4 PCMCIA let me know!

It does not give you the option to accept, just continue and view system. Will try it.. > Is this an HP machine? > That error message merely means that the CMOS has noted the change, AFAICT - [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > >> >> > perhaps. > >> >> > Thanks in advance.....Paul No, gives same error............ > Yes, an older HP vectra.

Choose the option to View the system (which should take you into the BIOS) - then exit the BIOS saving changes.
