The graphics driver is an Intel 945 Express and it's using the latest Intel Windows 7 "beta" driver 8. Apparently this was a Vista issue as well (since corrected) and others have also now seen the Windows 7 problem (see bottom comments): I'm using a Toshiba Netbook NB205. Anyway, regardless of how I load the profile, it still resets on screen blanks, UACs, reboots (after a few seconds of being correct), etc. I've since disabled the ColorVisionStartup. At first I was using the ColorVisionStartup to load the ICC/ICM profile, however since Windows 7 now supports color management out of the box, I made it do the load (or tried to at first - it appears I had to create a second profile using the Windows 7 tools before it would let me use mine, which was kind of curious, but whatever). The odd thing is it initially starts with the correct profile on reboot, but a few seconds later resets to the default unmanaged state. The profile was generated using a Spyder 2 and seems to have no issues in itself, however things like screen blanks and UAC warnings seem to reset the display (LUT) to defaults (ie: I lose my color management). The dispCalGUI is much more complex than the push-button Spyder app but, you have many more levels of control and options to choose from.Hi, I'm running Windows 7 release version (though this also happened in the RC version) and have a custom ICC/ICM profile that I'm loading for the display. This seems to be a known bug and may be fixed in later releases.

In my troubleshooting research I came accross an open source color calibration software that supports the Spyder2 dispCalGui – by Florian Höch I didn’t do this, because I didn’t want to have to do this everytime I ran another calibration. If you want to hide the User Library again, you could go back to Terminal and run the command line In System Preferences, I could see the new Spyder3Express profile listed. (I’m fairly certain the names are case-sensitive.) Afterwards, I was able to run the Spyder3Express application and get all the way through without error. I moved the file to my desktop for safe keeping and then created the ColorSync folder and then the Profiles folder within in. However, there was a text file with that name. There wasn’t a folder called Colorsync as I expected. Next, I navigated to /Users/YOUR USERNAME/Library/ in Finder. Once that’s done, this will make the directory visible and writable. Verify the profile is created in Display preferences (1) >file://localhost/Applications/Datacolor/Spyder3Express.app/Contents/MacOs/Spyder3Express Utilities > Terminal for those who don’t have in in the dock) and cut and paste in the following command. Sorry, there was a problem creating the profile. Sorry, there was a problem getting the Color directory name (GetColorDirectory)Ĭlicking OK only brought up a second error message

When the calibration process said Measuring is Complete and I clicked Finish, I got the following error The software recognized my hardware and ran all the way through the calibration.

Furthermore, DataColor asserted that it’s software (including Spyder3Express) should work with Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). This has not been my experience.įollowing their own instructions for Mac OSX, I installed the Spyder3Express software for use with my Spyder2 device. Hopes rose anew when I read that I could use the slightly newer Spyder3Express software to run my older Spyder 2 device. But lo and behold, as has become a recent trend in my digital archeology, the Spyder2 software doesn’t have a version that runs on Mac 10.8.5. It’s been a few years since I last used it, so off to DataColor’s website to download the latest and greatest software. Given my recent foray into large format printing, I needed to dig into the old junk drawer and excavate my Spyder2 Color Calibrator to profile my monitor.
