CRICUT: Design Space Chrome Plugin message

If you're accessing Design Space using the Google Chrome browser, you might be seeing a message that says "This site uses a plugin (Cricut) that will soon be unsupported."

No need to panic! Design Space isn't suddenly going to stop working.

That message is advising you that in September 2015 programs (such as the Cricut Design Space) that use a plugin called NPAPI will be unable to load.

Sounds scary... but Provocraft have plans in place that will still allow Design Space to work.

If you see that message on your screen, simply click the x at the end of that yellow message bar. O

CRICUT: Fixing the Design Space plugin problem in Chrome

UPDATE: Cricut Design Space no longer uses the NPAPI plugin, so this information no longer applies.


If you haven't used Design Space for a couple of weeks and you're a Google Chrome user then when you update Chrome you'll probably be repeatedly prompted to download the Design Space plugin.

Here's what you need to do to fix that problem.

------------------------------------------------------

For the Design Space users out there... Have you installed the new Plug-in and updated the firmware on your Explore yet? This update is in readiness for Print then Cut which will be launched some time this week!

If you haven't done it yet, open Design Space and place an image on the mat. When you press Go you should be prompted to update the Plug-in. Follow all the instructions on the screen. Don't forget once the plug-in starts downloading you must exit out of your browser or the plug-in won't be able to install!

Once the plug-in is up to date and you have launched Design Space again, login then click on your name. Select Update Firmware from the menu.

Keep in mind... until Print then Cut is launched you won't see anything different in Design Space or on your Explore!

No extra buttons

No extra materials
