I am running an IBM Think pad, Win2000 pro, and it works just fine. The IR came enabled so I didn't have to dink with that. It just worked the first time.
The only problem I have is when I move the laptop (it is usually in a docking station). I have to pile up Post-It note pads to get the Axim to the right height, and then move it around a little. Usually it works fine just setting it near the IR from the laptop, but sometimes it takes a little moving the Axim around.

Based on your experience I must have a defective Axim. Now if I could just get Dell to do something about it. I called the support people and they said we expect a patch or driver out any day now and if you will just wait it will fix your problem. Well the patch arrived and did not fix my problem. Also they say "well you know IR is so slow why bother with it anyway"? Well that is sort of like buying a new car with the little spare tire in it. You open the trunk and your little spare tire has only four bolt holes and your axle has five so it will not go on. So you call the Hondord dealer and he says "well it is so small and you have to drive so slow with it on so why bother trying to use it anyway"?
