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

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


* If the following message pops up after booting Windows ME: 
  "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 ME. 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 GemplusGKEY98ME.inf
  and remove it. Next time you will have to redo full install process.

    updating the driver, please

   Click on property in the menu and
