You probably need to get a new version of the video card driver from
Nvidia's web site, if one exists that will support multiple separate and
independent calibration and profiling of the monitors; otherwise the card
will not support independent monitor calibration and profiling even if you
have separate and different color profiles available and loaded in you OS or
calibration equipment.  That is my speculation.

Subject: [colorvision_group] How to get new graphics card to have individual
calibration for dual monitors

 

I have just recently purchased Photoshop CS 4. Before this, the 
Nvidia card I had worked fine and loaded dual monitor calibration 
each time I started up. I installed a new Nvidia 9800 GT video card 
(3rd card I have tried) to work with the Photoshop CS4 Open GL 
components. Only one profile is loading for both monitors on start 
up. Originally after installing the video card, I got error message 
1168 which said "there was no calibration data in SRGB color space 
profile for plug and play monitor. Select different profile using 
profile chooser." I went to Control Panel, Display, and added 
profiles I had used from Spyder 2 Pro (1-plug and Play Monitor and 2-
Plug and play monitor) and tried to set 1 as default for monitor 1 
and 2 as default for monitor 2, but when the system starts up both 
monitors register the same profile and not individual ones. I 
interfaced with Data Color (Spyder folks) with no luck. I downloaded 
the Windows Color Settings for Control panel, and in Devices, it 
shows idendical names for both monitors (Plug and Play Monitor on 
GeForce 9800). It idd allow me to enter the desired profiles there 
one for 1 monitor and one for the other, but when I start up one 
profile loads into both screens. I am able to use Profile Chooser to 
pick the correct profile for each monitor after I start up. Does 
anyone know what to do to get individual profiles for each monitor? 
Thanks so much.
