I'm running Sidekick 98 with Windows XP. I agree that solving the "2006" problem is more important -- and I would imagine more doable -- that coming up with a replacement program. For me, the date problem involves more than just making a mental adjustment -- i.e. 1998 is really 2006. I make...

Jim, you were right -- just a misspelling. Also, I don't recall updating a video driver during the installation of XP (which also included the service pack). Of course, Windows could have done it on its own, or subsequently as part of an automatic update. Sorry I couldn't be more help. And I...

My problem began with the time designation [e.g., 2:00-2:30] being followed by gibberish whenever I tried to to insert a new appointment. Now it's progressed to the point where even the time signature doesn't show up when I click to make an appointment. Following the suggestions above, I...

Jim, I went to the field you suggested (memos.SKContent) and opened it with Notepad. It contains just two words, the first two words of the first file in the first folder. So that's all there is in SK. However, all the data that was in SK is still on the Pilot from a prior sync. My problem is...

Jim, Your directions seem to assume that the data are in a Sidekick file. But those files are empty, except for folder labels--which are already activated. If you're saying to export out of Palm Pilot (which is where all the data are), I don't know how to do that, following your steps. I did...

For no apparent reason, all the data in my memo files just came disappeared. The file name still appears on the top--"c:\program files\starfish\sidekick98\userdata\memos"--and the folder names appear, but the individual topics are blank. When I run "open file" there's nothing...

Jim, Sorry, I thought I had answered your question about OS, etc. I run WindowsMe on a Dell 1180 with a Pentium 4, and use Sidekick 98. Printer is HP Laserjet 1100A. I hadn't tried the spooling technique because the printer was out for service (unrelated to SK problem. I thing--uneven...

Dear James, First, thanks for responding. I was beginning to think I'd asked a question that was either too difficult or too dumb to warrent a response. However, there's a problem. What you've described has to do with how the data appear on the screen. My question has to do with how they are...

Attempts to print an activities list do not include the dates. Columns are: "Activity" (says "Appointment" for all); "Description" (the particular activity) and "Details" (the times). Of course, without the date, all this isn't much help. So, printing the...

I have Sidekick 98, and run it on Windows ME. Right now, I have to run. But I'll check the FAQs soon, probably tomorrow. Thanks for your help--even confirming that my address book is toast. Tony

Is this what you meant: In the userdata folder, I copied the file named "ADDRESS.SKCARD" to another folder and renamed it "newADDRESS.SKCARD" Then I renamed the original as "oldADDRESS.SKCARD" Next, I opened Sidekick and opened the "newADDRESS.SKCARD&quot...

A few days ago, I opened my cardfile and discovered, to my great dismay, that the only entries were the few I've configured for synching to my Palm Pilot. I guess I must assume that I set the synch for "Palm-overwrites-SK" at some point, though that's not the current setting and I'm...

Yes, just in the daily calendar view. (I admire your tenacity!) Tony

Dear Jim, I'm afraid the problem lies elsewhere. My screen pixels are 800 X 600, and I'm already using small fonts. Feel free to root around some more, but (as I mentioned earlier) the situation is not that much of a problem for me. As if to underscore that point, about a week ago I discovered...

Hi Jim, Well, I followed your directions, but the arrow is still stuck in the down position. Since it doesn't look like an easy fix, I'm content to work around it, especially since I use "goals" mostly for long-term to-do items and give them a date, at which point them turn up in the...

Jim, When I unzipped sk98patch.exe I got: Yintl.dll, 79KB, Application Extension 1/11/2000 sidekick.exe, 2860KB, Application, 1/7/2000 The exe file just opened the SK98 program, but still with the goals arrow pointed down. I'm warned that opening the dll file might affect other programs...

Jim, Sometimes, being a packrat pays off. I have two updates: sk98patch.exe, 1,193 kb, 1/15/2000 sk98sea.exe 8,972 kb 1/27/99 Based in what you said,I suspect you mean the larger one. Is that it? Thanks, Tony ("rahamim"}

I have a Palm IIIxe that uses TrueSync 2.5 and it works fine exchaging data with my SK98. The only problem--really just an inconvenience--is that it puts different labels on items from the card file: "address" for phone number, for example. I should also note that just having SK...

Out of the blue, the arrow next to the "goals" window (at the bottom of "appointments") is stuck in the "down" position. So, every time I click on it, nothing happens. If I drag the space above it, using the standard Windows double arrow, I can pull it open and read...

Dear Jim, I did what you suggested, and it works fine. But I didn't pay enough attention to your little follow-up post about other apps that use Windows sound. The good news is that a neat, attention-getting [i]"Ta-TAA"[i] now reminds me of each appointment. The bad news is that it...
