Hi,

 

Can you tell me if you are using a LCD monitor or CRT monitor. In case of
LCD monitor, reset it to fatory default and then do not touch the brightness
and contrast controls. Let the Spyder2express do its thing.

 

If you are using a CRT monitor, follow the step below.

 

1.	Choose CRT as the type of monitor
2.	Choose the brightness and contrast control boxes.
3.	Adjust brightness and contrast as mentioned in previous mail

 

Regards,

 

Eesh Dewan

Eesh - Thank you for your reply; I appreciate it.  To further display my
ignorance, I don't know where in the Spyder2Pro Express calibration process
I should invoke your instructions.  In my tries at calibration, I don't
remember seeing a screen with either 4 black patches or 4 white patches.  If
there is a pre-calibration thing I could do and it requires some additional
software, please let me know.  If it matters, I am running Nvidia 6100
onboard video with a Viewsonic Optiquest 20wb monitor.

 

In fact I just got the new monitor and tried to profile it after my initial
message.  Unfortunately I got a weird error:  "Error 122 (CMSS Support
cpp189)  The data area passed to a system call is too small."   I have no
idea what that means, except that my long quest for a calibrated monitor is
still ongoing and seemingly no nearer to completion.

 

Thanks, again,

Stilson
