Thanks Henry W and Jimalex for your detailed suggestions. I shall try them tomorrow and report back. Regards to all forum members, Ian McKean

Thanks Jimalex, but the link you refer to leads to details of a CD with install files, not a procedure. I have the SK98 install file and the patch. I looked at faq807-7112, but this doesn't help because I can't get past the program compatibility error stage, even after trying all the options. So...

thread807-1571275 I had SK98 working in XP and Vista but cannot install it in Windows 7 Home Premium. I have an install file called skw98sea.exe which is 8972 kb dated 5/11/2001 23:24. I have tried all the compatibility settings but the install won't run. I also tried Internet Sidekick and that...

Further to my two previous posts, I have been doing some more investigation with my W98 system and find it behaves exactly the same as the XP system. So it is a Sidekick problem. I was always aware that if you added text to the contact log it would eventually stop you adding any more. But I was...

Further to above, what is dangerous about this problem is that you can be gaily adding stuff to your contact log without realising that info is dropping off the end!

I have just discovered that my contact log gets truncated when I save all in SK98. I discovered this on a fairly long contact log record, but not so long that I couldn't add text to it. But after saving, some of my text at the bottom of the log has disappeared. I have just copied the missing...

Hi James, I did not succeed withExchange but found that I could downloiad the latest version of Eudora and the SKW98 interface does work. However it does not quite do what I hoped it would do so for the moment I am going on with Outlook for email and continue to cut and paste important things...

According to the documentation SKW98 will open either Eudora Pro or Microsoft Exchange, as defined in the Setup function. I use Microsoft Outlook, internet mail settings. SKW determines that I have Exchange installed. Then it asks me what profile I would like to use, and the only choice is...

Hello Jim and All, I am sorry to say I chickened out and ordered the Media Center version. I was a little afraid that there were fewer drivers available for x64 Edition and recognised that my computer usage was not such as to benefit from the x64 version. So I will not be able to give you any...

Hello all, I am about to build a new computer with an AMD 64 bit processor. I gather that SKW works under Windows XP but does anyone know if it works under Windows XP Pro x64 Edition? Ian McKean

Not having posted for a few days I thought I would send a quick message that I too have never found anything as good as SKW and would be prepared to pay for a replacement. I am from Oxford UK by the way. I have looked at some demo systems recently like red box and time & chaos but don't really...

jeffbeal, I really don't know as I am not a hacker or disassembler. I suspect that if the Space Race depended on it NASA would find a way. I really find it strange that none of the programmers who developed SKW have surfaced here. Here's hoping ...

james33 I am very sorry to hear of your family losses and wish you well while you are away from the Forum. And of course, thank you for you erudite input over the last few years. Ian

I think bigdent may have something here. I make extensive use of the recurring todo feature in SKW. Interestingly the recurring todos DO come up on the right day EVEN THOUGH the date is displayed wrong. So whatever format the date is held in internally (probably the number of days after some...

James33, have you come to any further conclusions ref Redbox Organiser? Or Time & Chaos? Or anything else? There must be something out there better than Outlook.
