Is this worth installing if one only uses a Cameo 3?

It depends Shirley on what version you are using at the moment. A lot of people are apparently having problems with the software crashing and other problems but if the version you are using is working OK and it does everything you want then you may want to stick with what you have. These are the release notes:-

Thanks Shirley.
Shirley is there still no fix on the Canon print and scan problems, also the print boarder always shows as portrait orientation when the mat is set as landscape?
Shirley does anyone else get a 'runtime' error box when each version of Studio V4 starts installing? I get it every time and have to click ok for it to carry on installing.

No resolution for the scanner issue yet Neries. It does keep being mentioned in the Beta group but to no avail. It is either low on the list of priorities or they haven’t got a clue how to resolve it. I have a Canon and the print border displays correctly for me in landscape so that is odd. If you can tell me what the runtime error says exactly I’ll ask about it for you.

What is the scanner issue? Is this where no scanners are shown?
I am not sure if this is well know, but its only broken in the 64bit version.... if you use the 32bit version scanners work fine.

It's the scanner not found issue and it doesn't affect all makes of printers but SA are aware of it and are supposedly working on a solution and yes it only started being a problem when the 64bit version of the software was released.

Thank you Shirley Anne for your reply dated 9th December which, for some reason, I've only just seen. What a massive update however, as you suggested, the version I'm using (V.2.279 d.e.) does everything I need with my Cameo 3 so I don't think I'll bother to update.

Shirley strange that now the print border lines appear correctly in landscape but not on older files I re-open.
Sorry I can't remember the exact wording on the runtime error so will have to wait until I install Studio again.

Strange indeed Neries but I suppose that is a bit of progress !!

I uninstalled Studio V4.4.455 because I am having printer problems. Then installed a previous version but it was still the same. After reinstalling I no longer have the 'Runtime' error but I don't have a shortcut. I have looked through app settings and clicked on repair, but shortcut still not there. In Windows 10 I can't find how to add a shortcut, but I have pinned it to my task bar.
It took me 3 days and wasted card to make a simple print and cut card with Studio and my Canon MG5750. Printing has been playing up for a while now. It starts printing then stops, I wait then for a while and then it tells me to cancel. Other times it starts printing, stops then tells me another computer is using the printer when my p.c. is the only computer connected. I was using Pro Printing card where the instructions are photo paper and high quality which I have used before. Now when I used it the registration marks printed blue and also the image I was cutting out had a black outline which printed as blue. I ended up printing using plain white card with plain paper at standard quality and still having the printer stopping part way through. So repeated it until I had two passable prints to use.
I have pulled out the USB and the power plug for the Canon printer. Deleted all the software and drivers and will try and reinstall it tomorrow.
