windows 98 forgets drivers

Hello all
Hope someone out there can help me.
I have a very old laptop its a Panasonic cf25 toughbook running with 166mhtz cpu.
I have windows 98se installed and I have spent a bit of time getting all the right
drivers and some updates to make it all work.
The problem is that the laptop has pcmcia port with 3 slots, and only a floppy drive,
and 32megs of ram.(like I said ITS OLD)
I have installed the pcmcia drivers for each slot by going into device manager and
then updating the driver, windows finds the driver installs the driver and then the
yrllow icon on the device manager goes away, Seems like everything is fine. I plug
my pcmcia to usb 2.0 card in and windows detects it and then asks for the drivers,
i give it the drivers and it installs them and then tells me I have to reboot to
have the changes take effect. then after the boot the drivers for the pcmcia slots
are gone and the yellow icons are back on the device manager.
Is there a way I can install these drivers manually or a way to remove the ones windows
starts with?
I am not against having to run a batch file with every boot up. I am willing to do
whatever it takes to make the pcmcia slots work, without them I basically have no
communication with the outside world on that laptop.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts you may offer.
if you need more info please ask me.
