Common problems include mass storage controller errors in Device Manager, interference from PCMCIA cards causing input glitches, and compatibility issues with newer operating systems. Specific hardware mentioned includes Nikon total stations with PCMCIA memory cards, Panasonic CF-18 digitizers, and Dell Latitude E5400 laptops. Troubleshooting often involves finding correct drivers, checking BIOS settings, and addressing PCI device conflicts after hibernation.
