>>My 3007fpw-HC is overstaturated. Desktop, web, Windows Preview, etc.
show extremely red skintones. After calibrating there is no change on
any of these apps. What can I do to make Windows recognize the new
profile?

First, find out if Windows is using the Spyder profile. Open Photoshop, 
go to Color Settings, and under RGB workingspace, trigger the popdown 
list, and scroll to the top, where MonitorRGB-ZZZZ should be listed, 
with your custom Spyder-build profile listed where I put ZZZZ. If so, 
then your profile is properly listed by Windows. If not, it isn't, and 
you need to install it manually, from right clicking on the desktop, 
navigating to the advanced settings, color management, and setting the 
Spyder profile as your default monitor profile. By the way, don't leave 
Photoshop's RGB workingspace set at your monitor profile, just check it 
there, then return it to AdobeRGB, sRGB, or whatever you use.

>>I have deleted adobe gamma. Spyder 2 is the only thing in STARTUP but
it didn't help. I installed Windows Image Color management and it was
the only thing in STARTUP but that didn't help either.
I have tried Basiccolor and ColorEyes with no luck.
It is the only monitor connected to the PC.

Well, it three applications have the same issue its not a problem with 
the applications...

>>Every response from other forums I've gotten so far is that these
apps are not color aware and cannot be calibrated and my only
solution is to use my videocard settings and sell my new Spyder2.


Spyder2 will adjust your videocard settings, and include that data in a 
special tag in the monitor profile, which is then flashed at startup by 
the ColorVison startup utility. Do you see a ColorVision screen at 
startup? Does it list your correct monitor profile by name? Does a 
visible flash occur on screen when it loads the video corrections?

As for nonp-color managed apps; as long as you calibrate to 2.2/6500, 
you'll get about as good color from them as is possible. But you'll 
only get the profile in addition to the calibration in color aware apps 
like Photoshop.

>>Photoshop does recognize the new profile. Here is the difference
between a desktop and web image vs. photoshop/print.

Link not valid, but it sounds like you are half way there. Are you 
calibrating to 2.2/6500? What other settings and adjustments are you 
using?
