[Closed] Zoombinis - any modern equivalent for kids PC?

My daughter has just dug out an old disc with Zoombinis on - the animated Maths challenge programme.

Unfortunately it's not compatible with our Windows 7 PC.

Does any one know if a more modern version is available (our discs are 2001) or whether any one else offers a similar sort of fun/educational package?

Thanks!

If you want to use the discs - and have tried whatever compatibility modes W7 offers - then set up a virtual machine on your PC (virtualbox is free) and install windows 95/XP (whatever the game needs to work).
