    Way off topic but . . .

    I figured that some of the diehards here who stick with Sidekick might also be sticking with other old software. The software in question is Delrina PerformPro which was a pretty slick form designer back in the day. As with my SKW2 PerformPro worked well until the latest computer upgrade at...

    Sidekick 98 doesn't OPEN

    This is an odd new phenomenon but par for the course with trying to get this program to continue to run stably under each iteration of Windows. I had gotten it to install and run in my Windows 7 64 machine at work without too many problems but lately it has been hanging on start-up. The...

    Backing up files

    I have stubbornly persisted to stick with Sidekick over the years, primarily Version 2 that was flawless and the best (in my opinion) but have recently had to make the switch to SideKick98 to be able to run on my Win 7 64-bit machine. One of the dumbest things I am not encountering is backing...

    Preparing to install SK98 on a new Win7-64bit machine

    The thread I previously posted describes my depressing situation about having to leave SKW2 (apparently will not run in 64-bit). So I will move to SK98--I have all of the install files and have installed it previously on other machines. From scanning through the threads it looks like SK98 does...

    Doomsday has arrived

    Well I am one of the last people in the office still running Win XP and I have been successfully running SKW2 on it (I have preferred this to SK98). So they finally decide to upgrade me to Win 7 and instead of doing an upgrade on my machine they give me a new machine with Win 7 64-bit and try...

    Solution to an old problem (failure to load)

    Since I continue to be a dinosaur and use my Sidekick 2.0 under Windows XP, every so often I discover some fix/workaround. The latest one I stumbled on is to choose the advanced option (within WinXP) to run the program in a separate memory space. After checking that I noticed the program...

    Font question

    I have been using Sidekick going all the way back to the 1.0 Windows version. One thing I have never figured out how to do is to selectively change font for text in the Card Log. The Card Log is really the main feature I use for keeping notes over the years about my clients and contacts. On...

    Occasional failure to load

    I should have posted this ages ago but I have problems with Sidekick 2.0 (and even Sidekick 98) loading up sometimes. I have been using Sidekick since the earliest Windows days (probably starting with Windows 3.1) and I think this startup problem started when I had moved up to Windows XP...

    Cardfile Feature Question

    Hello all--I have been using SideKick now for umpteen years. Believe it or not I have been successfully using Version 2.0 on my Windows XP machine without any problems (I have SK98 but I just did not see a compelling reason to change). After comparing a bunch of other PIMs, I kept with SideKick...

    Cardfile Question

    As an old (since Sidekick 2) user, there has always been one feature I would have wanted and I wonder if others have figured a way to do this. It would have been nice if there were some way to add "sub-cards" under a single card. For example, for the clients I deal with, there are a number of...

    Recovering sdb files

    My hard drive crashed and I am trying to recover the various sdb files (the cardfiles). I have had limited success (part of each file is perfectly readable but part of the file is gibberish). I am using EasyRecovery but there is also an option to look for specific file types--however, you need...

    Print Header Problems Eudora 5.2

    I've suddenly started getting problems with the headers and footers that are printed when printing an email. Instead of the header listing the sender, time, subject (etc.) I sometimes get a pointer that shows the name of the file that is being printed (e.g., file//c:\windows\temp\eud9.htm). I...

    New mail notification

    I was tired of the wav I was using to notify me of new mail so through the tools/options/notifications menu I chose another wav file. I have the main (dominant) inbox and two other inboxes. The old wav file still plays for receiving mail in two of the inboxes and the new wav plays for the...

    Mailboxes completely lost

    My system crashed while I was using Eudora (version 5.2) and the only way out was to hit the reset. Upon restarting and going to Eudora, I found that in.mbx and out.mbx had NO mail (after being notified by the program that the tables of contents needed to be recompiled). I guess that these...

    Must the INBOX receive mail from all personalities?

    Either I cannot figure this out or it is not possible. I receive mail from several sources (e.g., my personal account, 2 or 3 separate "business" accounts, my wife's email account, etc.). Is there a way of downloading mail into separate mailboxes according to the...

    Eudora Personalities

    I have been using for quite some time and originally had one email account to check. That account is automatically set up as the dominant account. I now have separate email addresses for personal and work and, consequently, have added some personalities to Eudora. My question: is there any...
