5 - User notes (known deviations)
---------------------------------

* The Smart Card Resource Manager is not Plug and Play on Windows 98SE.
  This is a system limitation. You *must reboot* your system after a
  reader installation to be able to use PC/SC.

* When going to suspend mode, Windows unloads most device drivers.
  Even though device drivers are reloaded on resume, the Microsoft 
  Smart Card Resource Manager does not update its references to these
  devices.
  Note that you might also get the message:
  "Reader monitor '' received uncaught error code. The 
  device does not recognize the command."
  We recommend that you configure your computer so that it cannot go
  to suspend and that you shut it down instead of using the suspend
  mode.

* If the following message pops up after booting Windows 98: 
  "VxD reader driver initialization cannot open reader device. The 
  network request is not supported.", this is because you are trying
  to use two readers on Windows 98SE. The Smart Card Resource Manager
  has some limitations with multiple PnP readers at the same time 
  under this operating system. Turn off your computer, unplug one 
  reader and reboot.

* After a successful uninstall, if you plug again the device, The system
  keeps trace of previous installation. If you want to remove that, you
  have to search in "%WINDIR%\inf\other" directory for GemplusGCR430.inf
  and remove it. Next time you will have to redo full install process.


6. Troubleshooting
-------------------

If the previously described procedure didn't succeed in installing or
updating the driver, please

1- Open the Device Manager, 
   Click on the "Smart card readers" group and
   check the state of the "GEMPLUS GemPC430 USB Smart Card Reader".
   If a cross appears, or a Yellow bang "!", select the reader, 
   Click on property in the menu and 
   check the box line "Disable in this material profile". 
   Then contact the support.
