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...
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,
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...
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...
With us all being dragged towards Windows 7 it followed that SKW2 would not survive the 64 bit software which, as far as I am aware was all there was already in shop purchases of hardware. I used SKW2 for umpteen years and had to give up on it, but I must say I find Sidekick 98 in Windows 7...

Here´s another no action note on SK98 for Windows 7 64.
I said I would kill off the download once the Windows 7 thread petered out but I am amazed at the number of hits it has had. Most are in the USA and it stretches to Argentina and Borneo. As that suggests new faces I will leave it...
This is an old problem but I´m almost convinced SK98 in Windows 7 64bit does not have the problem or at worst loads very slowly.
With Vista on-line, sticking on the 3rd load bar happened too often. I remember the solution was to reboot, but I also had the zany idea to put the sk98 shortcut in...
This is just a bit of information on Dropbox which might be of interest if you travel as much as I do. Dropbox is one of the internet secure storage services with 2GB of free storage.
Travelling with Sidekick98 alongside, is easy these days and I carry a laptop less than 1kg and need nothing...
Like the last contributer, I like the old SKW2 which we have recorded as unusable on Windows 7 64 bit - so we use SKW98.
I wonder if 32 bit would work or another version (I have Premium).
I am deviating slightly here as Second Copy is not Sidekick but I have yet to solve the problem where I allocate drive D to copy Sidekick and it does not work because the external disk I use has been allocated G or H or I amongst the various plug-ins I have. Second Copy FAQ gives no clue - it...
I have a new laptop and downloaded sidekick98. It worked and later I had a message "sidekick98 has stopped working". I reloaded and it worked. I again had the message and this time I used system restore. This worked. I am not sure what it could be and maybe Microsoft will comment. I have loaded...
Both sidekick2 and 98 are now sticking at the copyright block which appears at the start. All I can do is close. It works on Safe Mode. Any ideas? Windows XP only- I've done the 'send a report' bit to Microsoft but doubt if they'll have much interest in Sidekick
