Glenn9999 Why were you trying to use it with a program that works without it? Its not made for that. Maybe that was the problem. It assumes the program won't run and sets about doing things similar to Microsoft's appcompat.exe to try and get it to run. It would be understandable that those...

So Glenn what you are saying is it didn't do any harm at all to your computer, but just wasn't helpful in running that particular program ? I don't think you need to be wary of something that does no harm, but may not work to solve every problem. That same statement is true of the apcompat and...

Glenn9999 You'll like resolver and should find its far more powerful than apcompat.exe, etc. Its also free. I think it was made for exactly this guy's problem. Gary Britt

Was XP ever installed on this computer before? If yes, did the computer come with XP pre-loaded? If yes, use the system recovery CD to wipe the disk and start over with XP. Its possible Vista has left some code in the Master Boot Record of the Hard Disk that causes the problem. You would...

Some of the suggestions here might work but they are like trying to kill a mosquito with a huge canon. Some of the other suggestions are just nonsense. For supposed programmers and IT people not to be aware of the tools that come with Win2k/Xp and some of the other available solutions is...

Dang, that sucks. A new XP *feature*. I wonder if the registry could be edited to manually insert this kind of hotkey so that it would work? Thanks, Gary

Hi Turkbear, I'm not at that XP machine at the moment so I'll try your suggestion later today. I was trying to hit the full hotkey ctrl-alt-2 when entering the shortcut (which is what I've always done on other versions of windows). I'll try your method of just hitting the 2 and see if that...

Hi, I've used a particular shortcut key assigned to the shortcut for a program I regularly use since windows 3.1. I've successfully created/added this shortcut key to the shortcut for this program in all versions of windows through Win2K. I've never had a problem. I just got a new laptop...

Haven't noticed the to do date bug before, but it exists in sk98 and skwin 2.0, so its been around quite a while. If you uninstall the app that started the problems does SK98 start working again? Have you tried reinstalling sk98 on top of its current installation to see if the problem gets...

What date problem are you having with SK98? I don't have any problems. Gary Britt

Hey Jim, salmon.maths.tcd.ie Works here as well and I've added it to the list. I don't think it is an ISP issue. I believe it is a function of: 1. SK98's list of timeservers is out of date and some time servers on the list no longer exist or their web address has changed. 2. Some time...

sundial.columbia.edu Worked for me as well. Good catch. If you find any more that work, post them here. I've started an SK Memo with the ones we know work. Gary Britt

You can't do it from the command console, but there may be other ways to do some of it. You could use another machine to boot win2k and then possibly load the registry hives on the other machine's drive into a regedit or resplenant registrar for editing. There are hack programs around like CIA...

Rich, Just tested clock.isc.org and it does not work. At least not here. If it works a message regarding "corrected time by X" appears at the bottom of the sk98 timesync setup window next to the words "Last Synchcronization" Gary

Hi Rich, thanks for the kind words. When SK98's timesync function is not working for the reasons I described above. You don't get an error message. The only place an error message would show is at the bottom of the timesynch setup window when clicking on the sync time now button. When it...

I've never used the built in backup program of any version of sk since I started using the windows versions in 1994 (or was it 1993?). Anyway, copying the files in the userdata directory is all you need to do. Restore is just copy the files back to that directory. What I do is use the command...

If you are like me and have one or more computers that you used to use the SK98 internet timesynch feature to automatically synch your computer's system clock with the official time as per various government/military internet time servers, then you may have also experienced that this feature...

Hi Jim, Thanks for the help. What about the reg entries for the timesync branch at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Starfish\TimeSync Could you post/email those as well. Also, can you confirm that the internet time synchronization feature works on the machine you took these reg entries from...

Hi James, Not new really. I've got the same problem on two computers one runs Win2K and one runs Win98. Gary

James and all: I've set up sidekick98 on a new computer but the time synchronization won't connect and work properly. I think its a problem with how I transferred the sk install and the registry entries. Could someone who has a working timesync sk98 set up pull up a registry editor and do a...
