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

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

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...

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

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.

Hi Rich Edinburgh is my home town and my surname is Macfarlane. I live in Gibraltar but if you have any problems with Edinburgh I might be able to help on macfarlane_james@hotmail.com

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.

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.

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...

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

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...

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.

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...
