This usually means that you do not have the most current GroupWise 4.1a Windows client installed. You must shut down PsiWin prior to running LinkWise. If you are using the LinkWise 16-bit version with a standard GroupWise 4.1a installation, LinkWise will automatically start the GroupWise client if it is not already running. Always start GroupWise Remote prior to initiating a LinkWise reconciliation. In the LinkWise 32-bit version, LinkWise attempts to start GroupWise 5.x and will warn you if GroupWise cannot be started.
Many factors dictate the time it takes to perform a synchronisation.
You may need to synchronise appointments every day, tasks and notes once a week, and anniversaries once a month. You should only synchronise the address book when you need too, especially if the GroupWise side contains a large number of entries. LinkWise was not designed to operate in this configuration . This will almost certainly lead to unpredictable results and possible data loss. The separate use of LinkWise on multiple PCs is not officially supported.
