I had the exact same problem on a laptop that I used to have, and my
Palm Vx.

After getting really frustrated, I noticed something in passing in one
of the docs.  Go into your palm preferences->general and look for "Beam
Receive".  Make sure that is "on" (it had worked with Win2k with it
off).  Once that change was made, I had no problems.
