Hi,
I have this product which I bought in the UK for half its recommended price and it works a treat. I see you are using the right version of InkNote Manager (V3.3) which supports WM 2003.
This version also supports, or says it does, the Axim.
The problem I initially had was to get the right COM port showing and also to take out the tick from the "accept all beams" box in settings/connections/beam. Different makes of machine use different COM ports. I use COM port 2.
The customer support service from the UK was exemplary. Look at this for the support numbers for where you live -

I have found that InkNote Manager opens as fast (or as slow depending on how you look at it) as other programs.
It's a great product but obviously not so if you can't get it to work!
Best of luck..
