The link doesn't say where you should save the unicows when you try to install it.
Where is it suppose to be?

From the second post, near the top of the indicated page:

Complete these steps to download and install 'unicows.dll':

1. Go to the Microsoft Download Center at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

2. In the 'Product / Technology' list, click either 'Windows 95', 'Windows 98', or 'Windows ME'.

3. In the 'Keywords' text box, type 'Unicode'.

4. Click the 'Go' button.

5. Click the 'Platform Software Development Kit Redistributable: Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95, 98, and Me Systems…' hyperlink, and follow the directions to download 'unicows.exe'.

6. When prompted for an installation directory, specify the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin

I have looked in the program files\common files and I found the following folders: Designer, Mircosoft Shared, Odbc, Services and System. Where should it go?

Does it have to be included in the files of the program that doesn't work, to make it work.

First run the exe file that you download from microsoft - following the instructions in the 2nd post in the thread in the link above

Extract the files to C:\Windows\Temp
It helps to clean the temp folder first.

Now drag and drop the two unicows files into
C:\Windows

It worked for me on Win 98, I was having trouble getting VLC player to run. Now it runs as it should.
