Uninstall the CardSoft software. It is not needed on Win95.
Then reboot without the card and go to the PCMCIA control panel and it will
ask if you want to re-install the PC card support. Do so.
Now restart with the card inserted and it will all work fine.

Subject: [TP770ED] Unable to install ethernet cards in Win95
