Memory Card Explorer for RICOH

Installation Tips for Windows 95/98 Users

Memory Window Configuration

When you first start MCERICOH, you may receive the following error message.

The MCERICOH automatically modify the Windows system files so that MCERICOH can use the default memory window, D000-D3FF, to access the PC card controller.
If you do not receive this error message, you can use MCERICOH without changing the memory window setting from the default.
If you receive this error message at application startup, you need to manually configure the memory window settings referring to the following link.

ERR-001: Memory Window, D000-D3FF, already in use (Windows 95/98)

Default Slot Selection

At default, MCERICOH uses the 1st PC card slot (slot 1) of your computer.
If your computer has only 1 slot, you do not need to follow the instructions below.
But if you find your computer has 2 or more slots, you have to first distinguish the slot numbers of your computer's physical slots as follows.

1. Ensure that no PC card is installed in your computer. Do not start MCERICOH at this time.
2. Open Control Panel and double-click on the "PC Card (PCMCIA)" icon.

3. Insert a PC card in either of your computer's physical slots.
4. Check the status of the slots in the PC Card properties window. The status of the card slot where you inserted the PC card must have changed. Make a note of the slot number, stop the card services installed for the PC card you used(click "Stop"button), and remove the card.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all the physical slots available.
6. Decide which slot you will use for programming the flash memory cards. If your choice is slot 1, you do not need to change the MCERICOH configuration. Otherwise, go to the next step.
7. Start MCERICOH with no PC cards in the slots.
8. Select [Setup] - [Slot Priority & Card Detection].
9. Change the default slot setting to the slot that you wish to use, then close the dialog.
10. Close MCERICOH and restart it.
11. Test the read/write functions using the slot you have selected.
