Yeah, the asset is really old, and the fix is really complicated - far more complex to do than you think or are experienced to try. I'm not saying that you can't do it. It's got a lot of steps, involves opening folders in Windows, installing another program, and editing the config.txt file in multiple places.
My recommendation is exactly yours. There are plenty of better models out there on the DLS.
You may want to run a database repair to clean up. Sometimes doing that will make errors such as the ones you saw with something that's built-in to disappear.
In Content Manager, click File then click on Quick Database Repair...
The process will run for a few minutes or longer, depending upon how much content you have installed.
Now, I know you've made more than a few posts here and obviously have the program, but you should be registered. If you installed TS12 from Steam, contact the helpdesk and they will make sure your accounts are connected. There's an issue with Steam not always contacting the N3V servers properly when programs are installed. If you are using a new username and were once registered here before, the helpdesk can help you with that too.
