Re: [colorvision_group] Re: Spider3Utility and Screen saver

Screensavers and energy/power management applications seem to have a
nice long history of causing conflicts, some of which were OS
dependent, some revolved around certain graphics cards, some traced to
the actual screensavers themselves.  Remember SS's are applications
and do various things in various ways.  If there was only one each for
the big tree OS's it might be a simple thing to fix, but given the
permutations of OS/GC/SS combinations coupled with various "user
ability" levels...

It's not just Datacolor that has this problem.

And I would note that this problem is far from universal with Datacolor's Spyder3Utility. We have no systems that show the issue, and have a grand total of one support ticket noting it. I plan to contact list members for testing, since we've heard more about it here than anywhere else.
