I see that a user LaWindsurfer has asked on the thread thread807-1826134 about exporting a Sidekick file with the ContactLog/Notes I have explained the process in the following FAQ on this site: faq807-1409 but I must add that you need to install Sidekick97/Internet Sidekick on a computer...

Dear All As RobertLH has mentioned, it does run on Windows11, if correctly installed on the root of the drive and started from a shortcut created on the desktop which is adjusted in its properties to run in compatibility mode XP service pack 2 or 3. The occasional hangups on loading Sidekick98...

Dear 2RaMa, Thanks for coming back with the answer, it helps us all overcome obstacles. If you can spare the time, it might be an idea to create a FAQ describing this problem and your solution. Once again Thank you Jim Regards Jim Check the FAQ area of any Forum you are in for answers to...

Dear karachow Apologies for cutting in on the conversation, I just saw your answer ref someone leaving their email and the unlikelyhood of that and chimed in. Thank you for the help you were giving, I am not as regular posting as I used to be as I am retired and have lots of granddaughters and...

Hi All Just had a query from someone who had an issue with his display and in my trawling through the posts I discovered something I wrote back in April 2004!!! Here is the query: I have been using Sidekick 98 since 1995. With my new laptop, Thinkpad X1 carbon, the memo subject fields are...

Dear JimAlex That's fine I'm very rarely asked these days as I would imagine many of the original loyal users have (like me) retired! Hope all is well with you anyway.and regards Jim Still after 24 years and so many Windows OS updates! A bloody miracle! Regards Jim Check the FAQ area of any...

Hi DougSilver and you're right, there was a Dos version; I believe called (maybe) SK2. And Sidekick98 still working (mostly 🤣) after 24 years and so many Windows OS updates! A bloody miracle! Regards Jim Check the FAQ area of any Forum you are in for answers to similar queries, it could save...

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...

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...

Dear Qusai43 I think you might be in the wrong forum. Regards Jim Regards Jim Check the FAQ area of any Forum you are in for answers to similar queries, it could save you a lot of time and effort! Good Luck!

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...

Dear KaraChow and Richard9222 Believe it or not, I too am getting the same error. Running SK98 on Windows10 64 bit Pro. I have tried (when Sidekick is not running) moving the Label layout file skwlb2.skw in the Sidekick98\Data folder onto the desktop to encourage Sidekick to recreate it the...

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...

Just a quick note from a longtime Sidekick user BobHall "NatWest are offering their customers a free version of Malewarebytes Pro and like an idiot I downloaded it, As a result it screwed up Sidekick on my desktop Windows 10 pro 64 bit and my laptop, In each case after the download I got the...

I believe you need to thank MarkG as he put the work in. Regards Jim Check the FAQ area of any Forum you are in for answers to similar queries, it could save you a lot of time and effort! Good Luck!

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...

Dear Junglemate I appreciate your frustration, it seems you have tried just about everything I am running the 1909 version and the methods I and all the others in this thread have been describing; whereby we create a shortcut to the install program (which we set to run under compatibility mode...

Below are the properties of the Sidekick.exe executable files of Sidekick98 and are to be found in the Program folder once installed on a computer. These can be viewed if you go to the program folder and right-click on the Sidekick.exe file and choose properties and then left-click on the...
