Encarta Reference Suite 2001 seamlessly integrates the rich multimedia capabilities of the CD-ROM with the vast, resources found on the Internet. With Encarta Reference Suite 2001, students can watch video of American Track and Field athlete Al Oerter's discus throw at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome to capture the gold medal and then - with a few clicks - jump to current information on the Internet about this year's Olympic Torch Relay to Sydney.
Encarta Reference Suite 2001 brings it all together. The added inclusion of Encarta Africana Third Edition makes Encarta Reference Suite 2001 the ideal reference tool for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of a given subject.
"Encarta Reference Suite 2001 connects users and their families to in-depth information that is trusted, easy to find and engaging," said Claudia Ender, Microsoft® Encarta product manager. "By integrating access to the Web, Encarta Reference Suite 2001 offers a seamless learning experience. Users can watch videos and see 360-degree views without waiting for lengthy Internet downloads, and also link to related articles on the Internet that have been prescreened for accuracy and credibility. The suite represents a perfect research tool for the family that users can trust."
This year's Encarta Reference Suite highlights include the following:
•
Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 2001 expands the No. 1 multimedia encyclopedia brand at home and in schools with thousands of new and updated articles and more than 290 new videos and animations. Several new features also help make learning even more engaging. These include Encarta Today, which updates information daily from the Web into a dynamic section of the home screen. The Web Center seamlessly extends searches to trusted articles on the Web, each reviewed by the Encarta editorial team for relevancy, balance and accuracy. Finally, a new Researcher tool makes report writing a snap by organizing and footnoting the information users find as they explore the many sections of Encarta.
•
Encarta Online Deluxe is a premium version of Encarta Encyclopedia that is optimized for online delivery.
•
Encarta World English Dictionary 2001 adds more than 450,000 references with thousands of audio pronunciations to one of the first dictionaries created for the Internet age.

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
