Please hopefully all of you and more get to see this, I have already heard from a few people now not just one that they could not cut with the expression machine after installing this update. It apparently does make you update your firmware (I had used it with SCAL on my and test cut but I do not run DS while using SCAL) and it crashes your machine.
Please let everyone know PC does know about this and will most likely be pulling it from the download page soon. I don’t have definite information on this problem but to be on the safe side I would be cautious and just wait. It doesn’t really have anything dire important in it anyway, plus the Gypsy updates for DS in it aren’t working either.
Also I have a request can you please leave comments on my page once in a while as it keeps my Blog up in the top when people search for things related to the content on here. I appreciate all your help in keeping this blog active 🙂

Thanks for all you do, April! This really stinks!
I’ve got a copy of the old (DEC 2008) CDS that people are more than welcome to download if they need to. I don’t know if it will still work but it used to be that you could uninstall a new version of CDS, install an old version and take the firmware back to an older version. It’s worth a try if you are having trouble cutting.
You can find the Dec 2008 CDS update here:

It’s no longer available on the Cricut site. NOTE: It is the OLD version of CDS and will likely not contain any of the new font pack updates. I have some of them and will upload them to my 4shared account soon. I’ll let you know when they are up there.
Thanks again for the update to this… what a mess!!!!

Thanks for the warning. I don’t have a Gypsy, so I was waiting to hear if there was any trouble with this update. You have answered my question!

Thanks for the info, I want to get the design studio but am waiting hoping to get it as a Christmas gift. Not sure what I would rather though the SCAL or the Design Studio.
