Does PCMCIA card services appear in Device Mgr?  If not, you will have to
get it installed.  See the following for guidance:

  Did you try putting the card in the other slot?   Does you system lock up
with the card in the slot?  I'm pretty sure if the card is not recognized or
the drivers for it not installed, playing with com port settings will have
no effect.
