PCMCIA loss after upgrading to W2K

[comtutor]

I have a Compaq 1200-XL laptop that came with 98SE and I upgraded to W2K. Well........ all went well except for the PCMCIA slots (2). They no longer read as active. I mostly use it for my FLASH memory ( camera ). Now it reads a card is inserted and beeps, but nothing !!!.
I tried uninstalling the card, the PCMCIA device and renaming the flash "Fujitsu removable drive" , as I found one person to made this work.
I found a Tech-sheet at Microsoft about Texas PCMCIA bus slots losing after W2K, but I found no where to download the fix to the three .SYS files.

Can anyone suggest a registry hack, supply me with the .SYS files or tell me a solution ?

Thanks in advance,

Does it make a difference if you have a card in the slot when you boot? I've had trouble before with NT not loading the service unless a card was there at boot.

No.

I still can not actually read the flash card as before the upgrade. I tried 3 different flash cards and bought a new flash PCMCIA adapter.......still no luck.

Amazingly when I insert the flash into a USB flash adapter it reads perfectly. I am using this solution, but prefer not to drag a extra device with me everywhere.

Thanks in advance Ron
