Inside the Knowledge Adventure folder there will be a “JumpStart World Records” folder. Right click on this folder and drag it to the desktop - choose Copy Here. Move this folder to the new computer by which ever method you want, such as a memory stick or even an mp3 player. Place this JumpStart World Records folder onto the desktop of the new computer.
On the new computer go to:
XP C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Knowledge Adventure.
Vista C:\ProgramData\Knowledge Adventure
Once inside the Knowledge Adventure folder delete any JumpStart World Records folder that may be in there. Then drag the JumpStart World Records folder from the desktop into the Knowledge Adventure folder. There should be only one JumpStart World Records folder in the Knowledge Adventure folder.
One more thing to do:
Open up the JumpStart World Records folder, and locate a folder called KAUGlobalUser
Open up this folder and double click on the Products folder. Open up the JS World (Grade) folder and delete the “Downloads” File.
Now go back 2 folders to the User folder. Open up the User folder and delete the “JSWorldDownloads’ file.
Launch the game. It will start updating the files the game needs. You may have to restart the game multiple times to get all the files to extract.
