The Cartridge Update includes:

*Please be advised that the Hannah Montana cartridge has SPECIAL instructions (See the end of the post for those instructions!*
Here are the directions:
Make sure you have the most current version of Design Studio downloaded. The Version that you need is:
Cricut Design Studio Version 1.0.21104.0
(To find out if this is the version you have, in Design Studio, Click on HELP and then Click on About. This will bring up a green box that will tell you the version you are running.)
If you do not have this version you will need to uninstall your Cricut Design Studio from your computer.
This is the link you will use to download the newest version of Cricut Design Studio.

The image below shows which download button to click.
If you do not have the correct version of Design Studio you will need to install the correct version for it to work properly.
To Uninstall Cricut Design Studio, You need to go to the Start button, Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, once your list populates you will select Cricut Design Studio and follow the prompts to uninstall it.
If you already have this version, you need to close out of Cricut Design Studio as you are ready for the next step.
Before you run the Font installer, you need to rename your old Cricut File.
My suggestion would be Kendra’s Cricut Files just as an example. Your would be “YourName Cricut Files”
You will find this file under Start Menu, Documents, Cricut.
If you do not rename this file your Cartridges will not install in the correct place in your Design Studio. They will all install in your Fonts file instead of Font and Images files.
Once this has been renamed you can now go online to http://www.cricut.com/cds/Update.aspx
To install the Newest Design Studio Cartridges into your Cricut Design Studio make sure your Design Studio is CLOSED and click on the icon below the Design Studio Font Packs. Once it has been clicked you need to click Save. Once your file has downloaded, open the file and run the program following the promts.
This will only take about a minute or so.
Once it has finished open your Cricut Design Studio and you are ready to go!
In regard to Design Studio! It is very important to pay attention to the following warning! Your files will corrupt if you do not!
