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.

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.
