Well, it seems that the red dominance problem is also present in 
version 2.3. Actually, the change with target color temperature 
appeared in this version: "Target White Point for LCD is now 6500K 
instead of Native.". This can of course explain why the red dominance 
appeared. If the target white point is set at a higher temperature, 
there's a shift toward low temperatures. So I ask: why this change? 
To encourage us to purchase the pro version?

As a matter of fact, I currently can obtain a correct calibration 
only with version 2.2.

Also, this is in contradiction with what the support said about 
version 2.3.5. I obtained the very same result (red dominance) with 
the new version and the new device driver as with version 2.3. So 
this version "works" on a 32-bit system.

I can only repeat this again and again: what a mess! What a loss of 
time!
