Monitor Calibration Issues
I am trying to calibrate my home laptop LCD monitor using an X-Rite Eye One
Display 2 unit for digital photography purposes. After calibration, the X-Rite unit creates a custom monitor profile and sets it as default. But the laptop reverts to the original monitor settings once the computer is rebooted. I can't get the corrected monitor profile to display even though the display settings show that profile as the default. I've tried "adding" the profile in advanced display settings and re-setting as the default but that has no effect. Only a new calibration will change the monitor to the desired settings and that only lasts until the next power down. During the boot process, I can see the monitor colors change three times (originalcalibratedback to original). My laptop is an HP Pavillion DV2000 using Vista Home Premium and with Intel GMA X3100 display adapter. BTW, my XP desktop was calibrated successfully without problems. |

I am also having this problem. I have calibrated my monitor, and even
though it is set as default vista will not use it, Vista loads it and then changes it once its loaded. Does anyone know of a solution?

Monitor Calibration Issues
Becky,
I was experiencing two problems. (1) Vista overriding the calibrated monitor profile during bootup and (2) Vista reverting back to the old profile after the screensaver kicks in or the monitor goes in sleep or hibernation mode. I have found a work around for the first problem. I installed a program called Startup Delayer which allows you to put a time delay on your startup programs. I put a delay of 60 seconds on the Calibration Loader and this allows the calibrated profile to survive past the boot process. This lasts until Vista kicks out of active mode for whatever reason (screensaver, sleep, hibernation, etc.). Once that happens, I have to reboot in order to have a calibrated screen. I cannot manually load the calibrated profile outside of the boot process. I know it is not a total solution but I hope it helps you somehow. "BeckyWC" wrote: I am also having this problem.

Monitor Calibration Issues
Hello... I had problems with my hardware calibreted display in what concerns to automatic ICC profile loading by windows Vista32 too. I solved this by using the displayprofile.exe free software from X-Rite because it can force the ICC profile data to be charged in the memory of video card. 'DisplayProfile Freeware for Windows NA' (http://www.xrite.com/product_overvie...ftwa reID=539) The profile doesn't charge automaticaly through displayprofile.exe because it is a manual process but, at least, every time windows vista resets ICC profile after its boot or by any other action you described above you can call displayprofile.exe by clicking only its icon and select the desired profile name. You will not need to recalibrate the monitor every time windows vista ( and all others) shows all its enormous problems list. Miguel Garcia -- MiguelGarcia |

I don't know if web addresses can be posted here but in case they are not you can search in google for "x-rite" and in x-rite search for "displayprofile" ( not "displayprofile.exe). -- MiguelGarcia |

Thanks for the suggestion for the profile loader. It works great and easily allows me to compare various profiles easily. Dan Kosmayer ' ' (http://www.dankosmayer.com/) -- irecom |

The Display Profile Loader works great on my Vista 64. I highly recommend it. 'X-Rite: Get exactly the color you need, every time, anywhere in the world.' (http://www.xrite.com/product_overvie...ftwa reID=539) Dan Kosmayer 'Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography' (http://www.dankosmayer.com/) -- irecom |
