shadygroovedc Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 Originally posted by tinybutterfli the instructions say that the light on the card will be lit when the card is installed properly. But it doesn't tell me what it means when the light is blinking (which is what mine is doing) pgiddy - i want some french bread pizza! OK. If the orange/red light blinks and flashes then it means that the card is getting power from your slot. So usually that means the card should be ok.If the green light blinks and flashes, that means you have a connection.What version of Windows are you running?

Maybe its flashing. What is the difference between blinking & flashing? Oh i'm running something old... win98. that could be my problem. but the card is compatible.

Oh i'm running something old... win98. that could be my problem. but the card is compatible. Flashing - on and off real fast. Like a strobe light.Blinking - on and off slowly. Like a car's turn signal.Blinking is usually bad. Flashing is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadygroovedc Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 BTW, what kind of card? Linksys? If so, go to Start->Program Files->Linksys->Configuration Utility.If you don't have it, then that might be a problem, although I'm not sure how the new cards install. But if you do, open that program up.If you don't have a Linksys, then see if there's something in your Program Files that has the same name as the card.
