Shared data location resets for each user
Required patch for listed digitext titles:
Readme document - 2KB download
Files listed below are each approximately 2.5 MB in size:

Problem:
The shared data setting is lost when another user logs onto the PC. The problem presents itself when launching the Digitext in the form of a dialogue box stating that the shared data folder has not been set up. The user is advised to seek a teacher or the administrator.

Cause:
Macromedia Flash uses a bespoke shared object library to store this data. Due to the security constraints placed upon Flash objects, it is created in a unique location that cannot be simply copied to the 'All users' profile.

Solution:
Download the appropriate zip file by clicking on the links above and extract the files into the application directory replacing the following files:

PeakAdventures.exe (example name)
PeakAdventures.ini (example name)
kd1.swf
main.swf

In addition, ensure that sharedpath.xml is placed into the config folder.

Note:
Perform a file-search on the affected machines to locate and delete instances of 'kdtest1.sol'. This file will be re-created with the correct version when running the product again.
