Sidekick 98 on Win 10
Sidekick 98 on Win 10
(OP)
I've run Sidekick on every version of Windows since 98 and Win 10 was a welcome return to easy installation after the last few versions. However today it wouldn't run (Win 10 Pro), no matter what I tried, even reinstalling the whole thing.
The problem turned out to be Samsung SmartSwitch - I uninstalled it and everything is now back to being splendid. Hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.
Sidekick is still, and by a long, long way, the best PIM there's ever been, and I've tried them all.
Many many thanks for the Sidekick wisdom here - it's saved my bacon many times!

It's really too bad that nobody ever took this program into the public domain with the requisite tweaks/updating to get it to easily work on current systems.

You're still around too and we're still dreaming about that rewrite of the program!
No chance, I remember that terrifically long thread where we discussed it and came to the conclusion that with the weird date situation and various other things, it was a no go.
What a pity!
Hope all is well with you and your family
