Re: How often does the Utility need to load the VIdeo Card LUT?

2008-12-16 by madigan_bill

1.What do you mean by your that my "LUT is not probably correct"? 
2.What timing should I adjust?
3. Telling me that I should "look into what might be conflicting with 
the Datacolor LUT loading" is not real helpful. What makes you think 
soething is conflicting? This is a fairly clean install of Vista 64. 
What do you suggest I should be looking for? I have wasted hours and 
hours attempting to figure this out.

but if it blips every minute, it would also imply that your LUT is 
not probably correct, or you would not be seeing the blip. So, as 
well as adjusting the timing, look into what might be conflicting 
with the Datacolor LUT loading...
