Hello To install the dlportio.sys driver and get your PCMCIA USB card reader working in Windows 10, you can follow these steps:   Download the driver: You can download the dlportio.sys driver from the manufacturer’s website or a trusted source. Extract the downloaded file: If the driver is in a ZIP file, right-click on it and select "Extract All Files". Install the driver: Locate and double-click the setup.exe or install.exe file in the extracted folder. If you encounter any issues, you can try running the installer in compatibility mode. Update the driver: If the driver is already installed but not working properly, you can update it. Go to the Device Manager (you can search for it in the Windows search bar), find your PCMCIA card under the appropriate category, right-click on it, select “Properties”, go to the “Driver” tab, and click on "Update Driver".   If you’re still having trouble, you might need to check if there are any specific instructions or additional software required by the manufacturer of your PCMCIA USB card reader. Also, ensure that your Windows 10 is up-to-date as some drivers may require the latest updates to function properly.   Please note that while this process generally works for most drivers, there may be specific steps required for dlportio.sys that aren’t covered here. Always refer to any documentation provided by the manufacturer for the most accurate instructions.
