Will Microsoft Encarta 97 Encyclopaedia run under XP?

01-15-2007

I have the following auction for Microsoft Encarta 97 Encyclopaedia
<http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=84152741>. It's system requirements
are listed as:

33MHz 486DX or better microprocessor.
8MB RAM or better.
MS-DOS 3.1 or Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51 or later.

However a potential buyer has asked if it will run under Windows XP. I
am unable to test it myself as I do not have any PC with XP. Does anyone
here know?

TIA,
Jamie Kahn Genet

Cheers very much

You never can tell how well old software will run
under XP.
