    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    IWhen I try I get an error message that says cannot open TSZones.DAT in that folder. I cannot even run TSexplorer.exe. It dies right after the error message. Since my REX seems fixed, I see no reason to run.

    Blackberry Pearl & Sidekick

    A buddy just came over with the Blackberry Pearl and it is almost as small as the Rex once you count the case case (I am talking front pocket small). Does anybody know what it takes to coordinate SK99 with a Blackberry. (I expect that the word sync is too strong.) Alternatively does using a...

    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    My instinct is that it wasn't worth it. The change in Sidekick is an easy one time reconfiguration of your home city. And second once you know that you have to change the REX client time by hand, you are done. Why would I want to reload my firmwear? I do not even know where I would find old...

    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    Jim, I opened the link once, had attend to other business and now cannot open it. Could you recheck it? The REX client does have to be reset by hand. A friend who also has a REX had a similar experience to mine at having to redo both the REX client and the software in order to really...

    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    Update: While Sidekick took to the adjustment easily, REX did not. It would not: Choosing Washington as the home city meant the old time not the 1 hour forward. (I guess its lookup table is in the firmware, rather than in the user defined settings from Sidekick. Is there another...

    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    By all means add it to the FAQs and keep google in mind. US residents who use sidekick are all going to have to learn that particular tab sometime this week.

    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    Works just fine. I have to clean up March a little but after that, it looks great. You've saved Sidekick and my Rex 3 for me. I was afraid that this was it for the little guy. Anyone with ADD as bad as mine needs those alarms to remind us to do all sorts of things. I thought I was going to...

    Sidekick and Daylight Savings Time in the US

    Daylight Savings time has come 3 weeks early to the US. Sidekick refuses to recognize it. So instead of being 12:48, my sidekick thinks it is 11:48. My computer has the right time, just not sidekick. I had Sidekick sync with one of the world clocks but nothing seems to have taken. Real...

    Registry editing of XP to get Alarms to sound in SK99

    The PDF is small, only 105K. But I cannot seem to find your email. Where do they hide these things.

    Registry editing of XP to get Alarms to sound in SK99

    I can select text on other pDF files just fine. But the PDF of the scanned file I cannot seem to get. All I can do is get images of the text. Anyone who wants the PDF should let me know. Alternatively I would love to upload the PDF here to expand the knowledge base.

    Support for an independant version of SideKick

    I would not assume that it is in the public domain, not after 6 years. No judge would consider it abandoned after a mere 6 years, even if the technology has rendered it obsolete.

    Registry editing of XP to get Alarms to sound in SK99

    Thanks for the work. But I have Calendar view as my default opening view. The packrat in me triumphed. I have found my printout and it solved my problem. Essentially (sp?) in Regedit, I find the Starfish sidekick alarm entry and type in the name of the wav file I want to sound for alarms...

    Registry editing of XP to get Alarms to sound in SK99

    Thank you for your response. I was unclear. I can open regedit on my XP machine. I can even find the item for the starfish alarm in the registry. The value for that alarm is empty. So what I need are the specific numbers to enter into the Registry item for the starfish alarm...

    Registry editing of XP to get Alarms to sound in SK99

    When I shifted 4 years ago from win98SE to Win 2K, I lost the alarm sound for appointments in sidekick 99. I searched the web and found that by editing the registry, I could restore the alarms in sidekick. It worked so well that I forgot about this problem. So today I got a new computer XP...

    Contents Invisible in Cardfile/Contacts

    I had the biggest fright this morning when my address book seemed to disappear. (My memo list also went blank.) Steppermc's insight that it was the Font settings saved the day. When I opened it the card list font was set at 10,000 or so. And no font was selected. I made some guesses at...

    Sidekick99 erased my calendar before January 2003

    I had been backing up the directory. But ultimately I didn't use the backup since I never found out how to merge the two files. Now I print out every month and deal with it that way. This is a terrible flaw in an otherwise nice product. But I cannot switch. My Rex PDA uses this product...

    Sidekick99 erased my calendar before January 2003

    I found a old copy of my XXXXeven.skw file dating to Mid dec 2002. It is 240 K in size. So I presume somehow sidekick just truncated itself. 1. How can I prevent this truncation in the future? 2. How do I merge the two XXXeven.skw files?

    Sidekick99 erased my calendar before January 2003

    I am using Sidekick99 under windows 2000. 18 months ago my calendar disappeared. Not the entire calendar just all my appointments for the previous year. (I only realized this when I was trying to write my accomplishments of the last year memo for my boss.) Now it happened again. I went to...
