Make that two of us. I just re-downloaded the pc 2002 driver from the link provided. Once it was downloaded, I was able to replace the .zip with a .cab. WAIT A MINUTE! I'm only guessing here, but can you see the extensions for the file names? If not, on any Windows Explorer window, Find Tools\Folder Options\View. Find the box that says 'hide extensions for known file types' and uncheck that box, then click OK.
Now copy it to the PDA; I again just use active synch. There are a variety of other ways to get it there. Continue with the rest of the instructions: 3. Copy the cab file to and install on your Dell Axim X5 (I have the 400 MHz version but it should also work on the 300 MHz)
Again, I'm not too sure if you'll see anything. I've got to believe that you would see something, but if the file wasn't getting renamed properly because the true file extension couldn't be seen, that could be the issue.
