You can assign appropriate profiles and load appropriate LUTs on
startup, which is all most people would need.... Which part of it
would't work in your opinion? Without colorvisionstartup.exe one would
just use "wincolor.exe /L" and it would work. I mean it does work.
I've said this about as many ways as I can. Assigning a profile to a device via an OS call requires that Windows see it as a seperate device. If it does not, then the assigned profile gets applied to both monitors. Under XP, this is the case with most dual head cards, even if they can store seperate LUTs for each monitor. Either of these startup items makes the same OS call. If it worked, I'd be thrilled. We have done a lot of research, and heard back from thousands of users, that it usually does not. Thats why I'm so pleased with the new PCI Express cards, since they sidestep waiting for Microsoft to fix this.
