Hopefully you still have all the driver disks that came with your Vigor. There is a diskette labelled "Omega PC Card" (or something similar). You'll need to load these drivers so Win95C knows what kind of PC Card controller you have. If you've lost it, perhaps another Vigor owner can email them to you. Just an FYI, Transmonde didn't sell too many of these. The Vigor was brought in for a specific purchase that fell through, that's why you don't hear too many people talking about this model.
