I have been postponing replacement of my 10 year old XP laptop becausse of Windows 7 concerns. Before purchasing new computer, I successfuly installed Sidekick 99 on a friends Windows 7 computer.
In order to save problems in transferring all my programs from XP computer to Win 7 computer, I ran a program called Zinstall WinWin. It appeared to have moved all programs over, but some of them would not run. Among them Sidekick 99. I removed all the non working programs planning to reinstall from original disks. Sidekick attempt was aborted with message about previous installation or removal. I went all the way through the registry, removing all references to StarFish and Sidekick, but still get the same message.
An earlier post referred to same problem in XP, solved by finding and renaming win.ini file. I can't find win.ini anywhere in my new Win 7 computer. I need to solve this problem, or find a suitable replacement for Sidekick 99. Hate to think of typing in 15 years of contacts and schedules, but will do so if necessary. What should I use, and how about exporting data to it.
