      [7 Ultimate SP1]{VMware}{UEFI}[x64](VM) - trying to install Encarta 2005

      Hello, I’m trying to install Encarta 2005, but I can’t find CDs #3 and #4

      P.S.: The background is from OS/2, I don’t remember if the color was modified

        Did you check the basement? (That’s where I keep all my old Windows software.) 😉

          Interesting. I’ll keep checking archive.org so I don’t bother you 🙂

            Don’t take offense at my joke, please. 🙂

            Archive.org lists it as “Usage Public Domain Mark 1.0.” Maybe it is; I do know Microsoft has released some (older) pieces of software as freeware.
            MS-Word 5.5 for DOS comes to mind. IIRC, I read MS-Windows 1.0 was given a freeware license recently, as well.

                1) Why would you want an encarta from 2005? Its hoplessly out of date

                2) Are you asking if anyone has the CDs?

                3) Is this an April Fools joke?

                  1) Why would you want an encarta from 2005? Its hoplessly out of date

                  The wikipedia can lie, and Encarta too, but at least Encarta is always the same, without orthography “errors”

                  I want to read about volcanoes

                  2) Are you asking if anyone has the CDs?

                  I didn’t have luck finding a complete Encarta 2005 working english version in archive.org, so if anyone wants to help with CDs #3 and #4 (or the DVD) I’d be very thankful

                  3) Is this an April Fools joke?

                  No lol

                    You might get more luck asking on a forum that supports Windows users.

                      Very outdated info in the MS product. Wikepedia can lie, but you trust Microsoft which bought and marketed old sources.

                      is that the real April fools day joke.

                      https://www.usgs.gov/vhp/about-volcanoes is one very good adress as are many university websites.

                      When I lived in Phillipines philvolcs helped keep me alive:
                      https://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/index.php/volcano-hazard/volcanoes-of-the-philippines
                      TAAL, which has an unimagibly large primary crater was only a few miles from home, Major Pinatubo eruption extremely recent.

                      Pretty every country, in some cases areas of a country have volcano institutes, if you think they are liars and want real
                      life experience take a trip to the inner volcano Lake on Taal without competent advice suitable care and precautions.
                      Or go visit Mainit village in the north of Luzon. Stand in the wrong place for a few seconds, if you are lucky your shoe soles
                      will only melt. Mainit means hot in Tagalog language, it is the village is located within a semi active volcano.

                        It is not that I trust Microsoft, but people bought these articles in the Encarta series, that says a lot about the quality of the information. And there was good grammar.

                        Would you buy a copy of the Wikipedia?
