Windows XP

Path to .sol file:

%AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\{RANDOMWORD}\localhost\{PathToYourMachinariumInstallDirectory}\machinarium.exe\Machinarium.sol

%AppData%=Refers to the Windows ApplicationData folder that is hidden by default (usually "C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data").

As an example, here's my own path:
C:\Documents and Settings\Stefano\Dati applicazioni\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\HG3TFH3S\localhost\Machinarium\Machinarium.exe

To get immediately to #SharedObjects:
Start > Run
Type: %AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects and hit OK

There should only be a single folder under "#SharedObjects" with a random name {RANDOMWORD}.
Browse to machinarium.sol file
Rename it to "machinarium.sol.bak", or save it somewhere else, for backup pourpose
Replace it with the .sol file downloaded from this forum.

Note: Video mode is saved in .sol file.
"Fallen Bird" savegame is in 80% / Windowed mode in order to hopefully prevent potential resolution issues (that unfortunately didn't solve netbook visualization problem).
