ABSTRACT:
In a message display control method for use in a computer system in controlling a message display upon insertion and removal of a PC (personal computer) card (17) into and from the computer system, the message display control method includes the steps of: setting a message flag in response to a PC card insertion event which occurs when the PC card is inserted into the computer system; executing a display of a message in response to the message flag; waiting a key event which occurs when a predetermined input operation is carried out in the computer system with the message displayed; closing the message in response to the key event; clearing the message flag in response to the key event; judging, in response to a PC card removal event which occurs when the PC card is removed from the computer system, whether or not the message flag is set; and setting, when the judging step judges in response to the PC card removal event that the message flag is set, the key event to forcedly close the message and to forcedly clear the message flag. Typically, the message display control method is carried out in a PC card control section 142 of a RAM 14 of the computer system.
