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

* The Smart Card Resource Manager is not Plug and Play on Windows 95,
  98 and Millennium. 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 mode and that you shut it down instead of using
  the suspend mode.

* If the following message pops up after booting Windows 95, 98 or 
  Millennium: "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 95, 98 or Millennium.
  The Smart Card Resource Manager is not able to support two PnP
  readers at the same time under these operating systems.
  Turn off your computer, unplug one reader and reboot.
  
* On some computers, the Plug and Play process to get reader 
  information does not comply with standards. When this is the case,
  the reader can't be detected.
  This problem can be worked around if reader is installed as a legacy
  (non-Plug and Play) device:

         Power off the computer
         Connect your reader as shown on the Reader carton.
         Remove any floppy disk and restart your system.
         Open the Control Panel, 
         Choose "Add New Hardware"
         Click on the  button, then click  once again
         Do not let Windows search for new hardware: in the 
         list box, Select "Other Devices" and click on the  
         button
         Click on the "Have Disk..." button
         Locate the installation file "GTWinSer.inf"
         In the dialog box, choose the COM port where the device is
         connected 
         Click on  to launch the installation. 
         The system copies the necessary files on your computer and 
         configures your machine for the smart card reader.
         Remove any floppy disk and restart your system.

* On some computers, mouse movements can be blocked during reader
  transactions.


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

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

1- Verify that the reader cable is connected to a usable computer
   COM port

2- Verify that the power cable is connected to the keyboard port.

3- Open the Device Manager, 
   click on the "Smart card readers" group and
   check the state of the "Gemplus Serial Smart Card Reader".
   If a cross appears, select the reader, 
   click on property in the menu and 
   check the line "de-activate in this material profile" and 
   contact the support.


If the previously described procedure didn't succeed in removing the
driver, this could be because the Microsoft Smart Card Resource 
Manager didn't remove uninstalled readers from its list.

   Edit the registry and delete the key:
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais\Readers
   Remove any floppy disk and restart your system.
   This will force the Smart Card Resource Manager to update its
   reader list.
