TheGovernor Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm trying to install Encarta 2000 in my old Win98 machine (strictly for fun) and it won't install. Everything I've read says that I need to install "crow.exe" from MS, but I can't seem to find a link that works anymore. Does anyone have this elusive file? It's supposedly only about 42Kb in size.

Nomen Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Is that file a screen-saver, featuring the "crow' character that might have been based on a comic-book (or movie featuring Brandon Lee, and later turned into a TV series )? I am finding "crow.exe" in many links that mirror /tucows/themes.tucows.com/filessavers/ or /tucows/themes/filessavers/.I have downloaded one of them from here: ftp://ftp.games.skynet.be/spool1/mirror1/tucows.skynet.be/themes/filessavers/crow.exeOk, ignore that (unless you are looking for a Crow character screen saver). I think this is what you want:https://web.archive.org/web/20060509060520/http://download.microsoft.com/download/encarta2000ref/enc2k/1.0/WIN98/EN-US/crow.exeMS has made the original link non-functional.

TheGovernor Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 That's exactly what I was looking for (the archive.org file, not the screensaver) Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
