PCMCIA USB2.0 Cardbus !!HELP PLEASE!!

Hi guys,
I have an old laptop which dosn't have USB so I bought a PCMCIA USB2.0 Cardbus for it. I've installed the Cardworks software which came with the laptop and i've got the PCMCIA sockets recognised. But when I plugin the new card it isn't recognised. The computers usually beeps when a card is inserted or removed, but with the new card it only beeps when I remove it. I have an old PCMCIA modem which is recognised and works fine when plugged in, but the new USB2.0 one isn't even recognised; both Cardworks and the Windows PCMCIA Card utility in Control Panel say the socket is empty. The card says it supports Windows 98se which is what i'm running. I have two sockets, one for type I and type II and one for type III Cardbus, I've tried it in both and neither recognises it. Why? Why? Why?

 

I was going to suggest that one of your sockets is bad, until you said you tried both and it still didnt work...you said you had a modem that when you plugged in the socket, it works....see if the modem will work in both sockets...if it does...then Its a problem with either A) Your USB Card Drivers or B) Your USB Card all together...

Have you tried this solution already?

Also, check out compatibility issues if any with your Model of Lap Top, and the Brand of Card you are using...the Mobo might not like it.
