Presario 1200

Just got a used laptop, with a Pentium 3 800 and 128 MB of Ram. I installed WIndows 2000 with service pack 2 and all the updated video drivers, but when I try to install any PCMCIA network card it will not let me use it, even if I force it, it has a problem with the card.

I have tried 3 different 3COM cards, one offbrand and a Xircom as well. Works fine under ME tho. Just 2000 has the problem.
 
If anyone can help would be appreciated

Installing Xp fixed it. Seems it was the drivers for the PCMCIA bus.
