I occasionally get this (or similar) problem.

Here is what has worked so far me:

"First you need to start the Windows Command Line Prompt, by selecting the Run option in the Start menu, entering 'cmd.exe' into the text dialogue and pressing return. This will launch a DOS window into which you type the following commands, pressing return at the end of each:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

start devmgmt.msc

Device Manager will automatically appear after the second command, and now if you go into its View menu and select 'Show hidden devices' you should see quite a few 'greyed out' items referring to missing hardware."

Uninstall all the Dell Axim USB drivers.

Then restart the computer and connect the Axim.
In my case, it correctly reinstalls the drivers and correctly reconnects.
