    Samsung Tablet

    Hi As far as I can see, the Samsung tablets are Android, not Windows, and Sidekick needs Windows

    Samsung Tablet

    If your tablet is using Windows, Sidekick98 should install. Have a look at the FAQs.

    windows 11 again

    Hi I've a new laptop and one of the first actions was to install Sidekick 98. It went well but I hadn't realised that McAfee Antivirus was installed on a 30 day trial. McAfee put both the sidekick.exe and the patch exe into quarantine. I could view them in quarantine and there was a simple...

    Final Sunset for SKW 98

    Hi You can always improvise. Year 2030 is the same as 2019 and so on.

    windows 11

    Whilst I must be the last person to have SKW2, this was because I had a 32 bit OS. Windows 11 works only on 64 bit. So SKW2 is dead. Sidekick 98 lives on.

    I need to download a copy of Sidekick 98 by Starfish

    Hi Bob H Sorry to hear this. You can buy a cd from James33 but I think it now needs Jim to see your thread. You could try sending your address to we2at@hotmail.com and I´ll provide a zip.

    I need to download a copy of Sidekick 98 by Starfish

    Hi Bob H, Look for IanMcKean´s thread in this forum dated 24 Jan 13. There is a link to Dropbox for a Sidekick download provided by HenryW on 2 Mar 13. Read the instructions he gives.

    Are you missing the Help File in Sidekick 98? And, is Time Sync a problem for you?

    Hi The problem I had with Help Explorer 3 was a simple one. On the top bar "Change View" gives you Contents on the left and your selection on the right. You can the select in the Contents titles.

    Are you missing the Help File in Sidekick 98? And, is Time Sync a problem for you?

    Hi Rich, Some years ago I contacted the creator of Sidekick (Philippe Kahn)with your sentiments. I also looked for the code but think it disappeared in Motorola. I agree with you that there is nothing better. Happy New Year to you too.

    Are you missing the Help File in Sidekick 98? And, is Time Sync a problem for you?

    Hi, Nice to see SIDEKICK:HLP turn up with a download link. There´s a little problem here in that Microsoft stopped the help (HLP) files access starting with Vista. I believe if you can copy WinHlp32.exe in Windows XP to Windows10 you can get HLP to work in Windows10. I have an app HelpExplorer 3...

    Sidekick 98/Windows 10

    correction MFC30.DLL missing from Windows 10! You should get the same answer!

    Sidekick 98/Windows 10

    Hi dannymullan, I think you will have fixed MFC30.DLL by now as a corrupted version affects Windows, not just Sidekick. It is normally found in C:\windows\system32 and it is not enough just to replace it as it connects with registry changes. So if you still have the problem try Google with...

    SK98/WINDOWS 10

    Hi Storrar, Could be you have a read only file. Backup your Userdata (especially Numbers.SKWrite) Try changing the name of the card file with Save Memo File As TEST. Do your edits. Save. If this works rename TEST.

    SK98/WINDOWS 10

    Hi, I can add that on using the free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Sidekick 98 was also automatically included (with a new “installed” date in the Control Panel) and works well. It would be good to say it all went smoothly but an age old problem turned up: Sidekick 98 would stick when I...

    Touchscreen usage

    Hi, I guess this is no big deal but I did not expect Sidekick to respond on the touchscreen. I have a 10 inch tablet with Windows 8.1. As a one-liner, I would say Sidekick on a touchscreen works as well as Word and Excel, giving the same improvements and limitations of use. TOUCHSCREEN...

    Sidekick 99 Windows 8.1

    Hi Scotchegg XP Mode may have been discontinued by Microsoft but there are other virtual machines. Take a look at Link Another suggestion is: why not use SK98 directly on Windows 8.1? I used SK99 a long time ago and remember the differences being internet scheduling using emails and also a...

    Notebook download problem?

    Last year, I set up a webpage for a Sidekick 98 download. One feedback I had was that on a Notebook, HenryW´s zip did not work but the webpage zip did. Recently, username Monterey has used this forum to say he cannot load Sidekick to his ASUS Notebook. I have tried HenryW´s zip on my Notebook...

    SKW2 returns!

    Hi Monterey, I take it you use sk98. What happens? Do you get the Welcome box inviting you to Install - and it doesn´t?

    SKW2 returns!

    Hi Jim, You beat me to it- I missed out this line which happens to be the answer! With Sidekick 98 you can rename SDB or SKCard and it will open. With SKW2 it will not open if you rename the SKcard to SDB.
