Whenever I plug in my PCMCIA NIC, I get an error saying it can't use device because memory area a000-0000 can't be accesed. Then says remove autoexec.bat or config.sys program using memory. (no such program)

Go into device manager (you don't say what version of Windows, so I can't be specific) and look at the memory assignments to see what drivers are using that address. This should give you a clue. You will have to either reconfigure the driver currently using that address, or the NIC driver.

The drivers as far as I can tell are not configureable and I don't know how to do that.
