Fix for the Adobe Flash EOL issue with Peanut Butter

01/24/2021

On January 12, 2021 the Adobe Flash Player was deactivated on Windows 10 and possibly 7/8 operating systems via Windows automatic updates. We apologize for not realizing that this would affect the Peanut Butter Software used for children's kiosk mode we install on all our Kid Computers. It was our understanding this update was to affect the Flash Player as related to internet browsers and NOT system only applications.

There are a couple of fixes to get your Kid Computer back up and using the applications immediately. We are also doubling our effort to get a replacement for the Peanut Butter Software released.

Use either of these options to restore to make Peanut Butter operational again. We recommend option 1, but if you prefer the original look then you will need to use option #2.

Fix Option #1

This option sets the Peanut Butter Software to run without the flash component and is the best solution.

Fix Option #2

This option allows Peanut Butter Software to keep using the traditional flash background but requires changing the systems Date to BEFORE the Adobe Flash end of life date. This can cause issues with internet browsing, networking and updates. It is really only recommended for users that are not using any internet connectivity.
