Windows Encarta

Windows Encarta 1994 edition will not be implemented on my windows 7 PC, is too advanced PC for the program?

I don't have to try, but I doubt it very much.

Said some of the later version Windows Compatibility Center will not work on W7 - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Software&s=encarta , but do not appear to mention your version.

There is the compatibility mode to try, but I doubt it will help. Try installing and running also and then in W95 and "admin".

If you have the correct version of W7, you can get it running in XP mode, but I'm not sure it will work either. However, if you have the correct version of W7, it of free and won't take too long to try.

If you still have the old Encarta, do you still have the old disks of BONE he ran in (W95 maybe, I don't remember). If so you can try running it in virtualbox

But as it is quite an old program, you may be better off trying to find a more recent equivalent program.

  • Help to install Encarta 2000 on the Windows 7 computer.

    I bought a whole new, retractable Encarta 2000, assuming it works on Windows 7. After being told several times that it was installed when it wasn't, that I came across a "compatibility" option Now it is installed and it works - except for the help file, which is "incompatible".

    My real concern is that I have to run from CD. I was not offered the ability to copy all the files from the Windows Explorer. Is there a way to get there now?

    I vaguely remember doing this many years ago.

    Thanks for any help.

  • UPDATE ENCARTA FOR WINDOWS 7

    Hello

    Sorry I don't know which category this would be, but I recently was looking through old records and fell on encarta that I had on my old windows 95. I felt a sense of nostalgia to find that I spent many hours playing through the mindmaze game. I felt a little sad that this drive no longer works on any PC I have. I tried to load it on XP and almost killed. I had no choice but to throw the disc away. Is there any disk with labyrinth mind on or a download online which is compatible for windows 7 or XP?

    Thank you

    "Hello perydot;"

    You may be able to download MindMaze from this location. Not sure if this is the one you are looking for.

  • How do I reinstall my windows XP on my Sony Viao computer original.

    I have a Sony Viao desktop computer.  It crashed a couple of years, so I had a friend rebuild.  It works under Windows XP.  However, since it has rebuilt it or what they call, I get the warning message that I have a license invalid window.  So I have not been able to have Windows installed on my computer updates now at least 2 years.  I do not have the certificate original hologram of authenticity from Sony, but it says: Microsoft Works 7.0, Microsoft Money 2004, Agie of Empires 2.0 and Microsoft Encarta online.  Is this really my appropriate Windows certificate?  I can't get the updates of windows. I am at a loss to know what to do.  Help, please.  If I'm missing any information that might help you to help me, please let me know.  How to put on my Windows XP Home?   My recovery thing is missing, too. Thank you very much.  Penny.

    Try typing F8, all as the leaves Sony logo and before Windows starts to load and watch and see if you see any kind of system recovery options. Most OEM PC (Dell, HP, IBM, Sony, etc.) come with a hidden restore partition. If you can find look for an option to restore the computer to factory default specifications. Good luck!!

    Hello

    The place where you install the Encarta software?

    You can try the following:

    1. open Internet Options applet in your control panel. (You can locate the control panel through the Start Menu).
    2. click on the tab 'Advanced' and scroll down to the section called "security".
    3. check the box "Allow software to run or install even if the signature is not valid", and then click OK.
    4. repeat your download. You should now see an option to "run" the file.

    I hope this helps.

    Problem solved on 08/27/2009 by installing Microsoft Windows 7.

    PS: As far as I know you can resolve it by installing Microsoft .NET Framework, whose absence in the system when you try to install Microsoft Encarta is the reason for this problem (you may need to perform a clean installation of Microsoft Windows in order to be able to do).

  • copy to hard drive during the installation of Encarta 2001 WA stops working after the folder has been created on HD

    Encarta World Atlas 2001

    Hello pledliec,

    I didn't know that encarta World Atlas 2001 listed in the Windows Vista Compatibility Center. So it probally is not compatible with Windows Vista.
    You might see if the compatibility mode to operate.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    Run the program compatibility Wizard

    1. Open the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the start, clicking Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clickingUse an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the icon of the program, clickProperties and then click the Compatibility tab.

    I hope this helps.
