    Anyone tried SK with Windoz 11?

    Such a shame, I found a similar situation after having used ActiveWords for over 10 years, when they changed the ActiveWords program and it meant that all my previous scripts became unusable. I believe however that there is a workaround. "Can you have a Windows operating system on a Mac? With...

    Undo, cut, copy greyed out

    Dear Urbite I imagine since you are a Technical User you are familiar with Karachow's suggestion, and you have no doubt tried Ctrl+C Ctrl+Z etc. The only thing I might suggest, is that you re-install Sidekick, making sure that you install it in a folder on the root of the C Drive. Regards...

    Sidekick 98 on Win 10

    Dear DougSilver You're still around too and we're still dreaming about that rewrite of the program! No chance, I remember that terrifically long thread where we discussed it and came to the conclusion that with the weird date situation and various other things, it was a no go. What a pity...

    James, Sometime back you were able

    This is a discovery from a user Bob Hall I did install Sidekick on the root of the C:\ drive by making the amendment in the appropriate window of the installer as we have discussed many times before. But then the next window of the installer says something to the effect that Sidekick will...

    SKW 98 - won't save Toolbar changes

    It sounds like a corrupt sidekick layout file. A reinstall would probably solve the problem, but it would be possible to delete the file (when sidekick is not running) and allow sidekick to reinstate it at the next opening of the program. I believe that sometime in the last 20years on this...
