Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) Devices Do Not Function After Hot Docking

This article was previously published under Q261624

SYMPTOMS

When you connect your notebook computer to the docking bay, the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) devices in the docking bay do not function. When you restart the computer, the ISA devices function.

When you are using Windows Millennium Edition (Me) or Windows 98 Second Edition, you are not prompted to restart the computer to enable the ISA devices in the docking bay.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when you connect the computer to the docking bay while it is running (hot docking). If you connect your computer to the docking bay while it is running, you must restart the computer to enable the ISA devices that are installed in the docking bay.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, restart your computer after you connect it to the docking bay.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
