Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

I have been going nuts trying to make the 2 work together. The other 
monitor is a Dell LCD. No matter what combination of D15 or XP desktop 
settings I use. The calibration throws error that "...error occurred 
while setting the gamma ramp on the graphics card." Now I am getting 
the error that the ambient light is too bright or the monitor is not 
warmed up. I have un/reinstalled the monitor and its drivers as well 
as the sensor and monitor control. The googling I have done has not 
been fruitful. Most say this won't work, yet I have seen posts here 
that says it works great. The problem I believe is the Artisan can't 
store its LUT in the card, but this may be in left field. The card is 
a Matrox 32 MB DDR Dual Head Video Card, AGP 4x. BTW, I was able to 
calibrate with the original Dell card.

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Rudy Torrico

Rudy;

I have a Matrox 440 I'd give away to anyone willing to pay the 
shipping. It's a piece of garbage, you can buy any mid-range Nvidia 
for under $70.00 and do better-toss it.

I was going to say that but while I was looking for a gentler way to put it,
you stepped up.

Thanks to all. I'll be tossing and shopping tomorrow for an Nvidia.
