Virtual Cover Creator Updates

Virtual Cover Creator Version 3.0.2 has been released and is available for download.

This release fixes two bugs including the issue encountered in Windows 7 when user tried to add text causing the software to crash.

This issue is caused by corrupted Fontcache3.0.0.0.dat file which can happen when you update your video drivers as they overwrite the data in the font cache that is stored in memory. When the issue is encountered, the software will try to fix it automatically. If it fails please try the following steps:

 

1. Exit Virtual Cover Creator. Close other software that are running on the computer as they may be using the cache file too.

 

2. Stop the Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0 service. To stop the Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0 service, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Use Microsoft Management Console

    1. Click Start, click Run, type Services.msc, and then click OK.
    2. Right-click Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0, and then click Stop.

Method 2: Use the command prompt

    1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
    2. At the command prompt, type net stop “Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0″, and then press ENTER.

 

3. Delete the old Fontcache3.0.0.0.dat file.

Note By default, the Fontcache3.0.0.0.dat file is located in the %windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local folder in Windows Vista or Windows 7. By default, the Fontcache3.0.0.0.dat file is located in the %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data folder in Windows XP and in earlier versions of Windows.

 

4. Update the video card drivers. To do this, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Use Windows Update Catalog

To update the video card drivers, check for updates in the Windows Update Catalog. For more information about how to download drivers from the Windows Update Catalog, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    I have version 2.1.0 and am leaving Windows XP and going to Windows 7 – 64 Bit. Can I run my version on Win 7 or can I get an update?

      Unfortunately we no longer support version 2.x. It may not work on Windows 7. You’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of Virtual Cover Creator 3.x. If you are a previous customer, we can arrange a 50% upgrade discount for you.

      If you decide to upgrade to the new version, please let us know and supply us with your previous license code or email address that was used for the purchase. You can contact us via our Help Desk here http://www.virtual-cover-creator.net/support/help-desk/
