Spectro won't re-read patches properly without reboot...

2006-07-02 by bmarcy1

I'm running XP Pro SP2, PFP 1.11 and started by profiling Hahnemuhle
Photo Rag on my r2400.


I've done both 729/225 patch readings and in both sessions going back
to re-read mistakes during the session has caused the reading to
suddenly go very light and off color (cool). Once in this state, all
further readings are identical. I've tried the following without success:

Recalibrate the spectro
Close & reopen PFP
Remove v1.11 & install v1.0
disconnect/reconnect the spectro at the USB port
remove/re-install driver

the only solution seems to be to close and reboot XP. 

I've not nailed down exactly where it goes south... seems after X
number of readings (perhaps 100 or more) on a new session. It's going
to take a lot more time & reading sessions to narrow it down.

Other than this major irritant, the corrected profiles so far are
excellent. Any reports of something like this before, or am I unique
(grin)
