Can the original Spyder be used for monitor calibration on a
Vista 64 bit PC with a ViewSonic VP2250wb monitor?  I’m sure there
are all sorts of reasons why the current hardware & software are better but
is this old Spyder + new computer combination even possible?  I’m
assuming OptiCAL 3.7.8 is the software to use.  This would be a temporary
setup for a month or 2 before upgrading.
64 bit was addressed in a late update to Spyder2; development for the original Spyder had ceased years before that. So there is no 64 bit version of any Spyder1 software.
