CNET Editors' note: Pandora's Box demo won't run on Pentium III or faster computers. Retail version requires this patch to launch the game.
Publisher's Description
From Microsoft Game Studios:
The creator of Tetris, Alexey Pajitnov, teamed up with Microsoft to help create Pandora's Box. It is a puzzle-solving game that will take you literally to the ends of the Earth. This journey includes 350 puzzles. It's up to you to solve them, capture the Tricksters, and save the world from chaos.
The puzzles are not typical word and logic puzzles, but instead take advantage of computer technology and challenge your visual skills. Some are twists on a familiar challenge and others are unique. They all provide a relaxing, subconscious, and enjoyable challenge that can be more fun than cerebral word or logic puzzles.

Well it won't work on XP which is built on the NT platform and the fix doesn't work either. If you are going to offer something it should work.
