Sorry to hear about these problems, but: have you tried contacting tech
support about this? And perhaps David Tobie will step in today and have
some questions about your setup, and suggestions?

Have you calibrated anything else with that Spyder, such as a Mac or PC
display? If there's a hardware problem and something is wrong with the
instrument, that would certainly explain why it doesn't work.

(I won't be the one to troubleshoot this, but at least we can get the
process started).
