Query: don't buy zoombinis

This software would not run on any of my four WindowsXP machines. I build and maintain all my machines so they are all virus free, running WinXP Pro with service pack 3. On one machine it turns the screen black and nothing else happens and I must reboot or kill the process. On another machine, it generates the classic "Zoombinis has experience an unexpected error and needs to close" message. Then it sets my screen resolution to 640x480 so that I have to reset the resolution. Don't buy it. As an interesting aside, Mattel bought the Learning Company (who created this product) for around $2 billion and sold the company a few years later for under $500 million. The CEO was cut loose over this and other major mistakes. Don't buy any Learning Company Software, it's all clunky at best.
