PCMCIA WaveRunner ISDN/Analog Modem - Installation in ThinkPads containing the SystemSoft CardWizard application

Applicable to: World-Wide

CardWizard does not properly handle the WaveRunner PCMCIA ISDN adapter. The following procedure may be used to complete the installation of the WaveRunner Adapter. An alternate procedure is to remove the SystemSoft CardWizard application and allow Windows 95 to control the installation.

Environment: WaveRunner has never been inserted in the ThinkPad

  1. In this situation SystemSoft CardWizard must be configured to allow the Windows/95 plug-and-play process to install the WaveRunner
  2. Insert the WaveRunner PC Card into the ThinkPad.
  3. When the SystemSoft CardWizard SELECT INSTALLATION PREFERENCE window appears select the USE CARDSOFT MODE option and click on OK.
  4. SystemSoft CardWizard messages and windows may briefly appear.
  5. Select the VIEW menu option and then select the PROPERTIES option on the drop down menu.
  6. Select the DRIVERS tab.
  7. Select the CHANGE CARD DRIVER option and the USE PLUG AND PLAY option and then select OK.
  8. A CardWizard message should appear with instruction on removing re-installing the card. Select OK for this message.
  9. Close the SystemsSoft CardWizard window.
  10. Remove the WaveRunner card.
  11. Run the SETUP.EXE on the WaveRunner installation diskette #1 or the SETUP.EXE on the CD-ROM in the \win95\install\pcmcia\english subdirectory.
  12. Follow the instructions on the WaveRunner Installation window which should instruct you to insert the WaveRunner card.
  13. The Windows/95 UPDATE DEVICE DRIVER WIZARD window should appear. Follow the instructions that appear in the Wizard and the WaveRunner Installation window.

Environment: WaveRunner has previously been inserted in the ThinkPad and installation has been attempted without success.
  1. In this situation an entry has been made in the Windows Registry about WaveRunner and CardWizard and that entry must be set to the correct value.
  2. Remove the WaveRunner PC Card.
  3. RUN the WRUNINST.EXE program located on installation diskette #1 or on the CD-ROM in the \win95\install\pcmcia\english subdirectory. This should remove all WaveRunner files and certain registry entries.
  4. Restart Windows/95
  5. When the SystemSoft CardWizard SELECT INSTALLATION PREFERENCE window appears select the USE CARDSOFT MODE option and click on OK. (If this window does not appear or some other window does appear close all windows and refer to Note 1 below).
  6. A SystemSoft CardWizard message may briefly appear.
  7. Select the VIEW menu option and then select the PROPERTIES option on the drop down menu.
  8. Select the DRIVERS tab.
  9. Select the CHANGE CARD DRIVER option and the USE PLUG AND PLAY option and then select OK.
  10. A CardWizard message should appear with instruction on removing re-installing the card. Select OK for this message.
  11. Close the SystemsSoft CardWizard window.
  12. Remove the WaveRunner card.
  13. Run the SETUP.EXE on the WaveRunner installation diskette #1 or the SETUP.EXE on the CD-ROM in the \win95\install\pcmcia\english subdirectory.
  14. Follow the instructions on the WaveRunner Installation window which should instruct you to insert the WaveRunner card.
  15. The Windows/95 UPDATE DEVICE DRIVER WIZARD window should appear. Follow the instructions that appear in the Wizard and the WaveRunner Installation window.

Note 1: Depending upon the results of a previous attempted installation a condition may exist that requires manual deletion of a Windows Registry entry. This procedure should be executed with care.
